Candidate's Comments:
Life is precious, and we must protect it as best we can. End-of-life care is critical, so doctors must be allowed to provide palliative services including pain-relief without idiotic regulations forbidding such use. Still, a patient's desire to die should be respected by permitting and encouraging "Do not Resuscitate" orders. Unborn children are not the result of accidents. Irresponsible sexual activity should not be a capital offense for the one person who had no active role in his conception. There are too many alternatives to killing the baby to allow this barbaric practice to undermine our reverence for life.

Candidate's Comments:
Freedom of expression is the first trait that separates free men from slaves. Without the liberties vouchsafed in the firs amendment to the Constitution for the United States of America, we are not free at all, but become cogs in an elite-driven machine — the elites having appointed themselves to that position.
Family
S O NR

Candidate's Comments:
"Gender dysphoria" is a mental condition in nearly every case over the past five years or so, the APA notwithstanding. Parents, not schools or other institutions, especially not governments, should have the final answer on this subject (as in so many others) for their minor children. Until the rash of recent cases, such people composed fewer than 1% of all humanity. That proportion's recent rise is inexplicable except for predatory elements in our society.
Education and Public Safety
S O NR
11.
School Choice: Allowing the use of tax credits, vouchers, and education savings accounts to cover the cost of children attending the school of their parents' choice, including private schools.
X
12.
Parental Rights for Opt-Out: Giving parents the ability to opt their children out of school materials and lessons to which the parents object.
X
13.
Critical Race Theory: Allowing schools to teach children that America's laws, policies, and society perpetuate systemic racism and that people are either oppressors or oppressed, or privileged or marginalized, based on their skin color.
X
14.
Parental Rights for Transparency in Education: Giving parents access to the curriculum and materials their children are learning in school and allowing them to decide whether or not their children should be exposed to certain ideas.
X
Candidate's Comments:
One of the primary tools oppressive governments use to dominate their subjects is their "public" schools. This has been true since Sparta. In recent times, Hitler and Mussolini were proud of their schools and used them to warp children's minds into accepting and supporting their terror. Parents must have the primary responsibility for the education of their minor children. They have the most at stake in the outcome. They must have the most power to decide what, where, when and by whom their children should be educated. The state has no legitimate interest in doing so.
Health and Welfare
S O NR
15.
Medical Rights of Conscience: Allowing health care workers and providers the freedom to practice medicine in accordance with their personal beliefs and conscience.
X
16.
Parental Rights for Healthcare Disclosure: Requiring schools to disclose to parents if the school is providing counseling or medical services to a child who desires to undergo “gender transition.”
X
17.
Parental Rights for Mental Health Disclosure: Directing schools to inform parents of any mental, physical, or emotional health information and treatment that a child is receiving at school.

Candidate's Comments:
Parents are the child's first protectors and educators. They do not lose those roles simply because the child reaches age 5. Only egregious abuse on the part of a parent should give the state any part in overriding the parents' wishes.
