Note: My support for Item 6 applies to public colleges and universities only. Private colleges should have the liberty to set their own rules and let the market decide.

Candidate's Comments:
I answered 'oppose' to question 9 because I suspect you mean something more than simply going to counseling. I prefer a model of nondiscrimination law where we dispense with the laundry list and instead make it easier for all people who believe they are victims of systematic discrimination to seek redress in the courts.

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:
Parents should have as much educational choice as possible for their children and have every right to been involved in every aspect of their children's education. Question 13 is phrased in a such ridiculous manner that no honest answer is possible. This 'critical race theory' nonsense is a completely made up moral panic and I have no time for that. We need to teach all our history with an honest and critical eye. I am absolutely opposed to inserting political propaganda or withholding the truth of historical events in any govt school curriculum, whether it comes from left or right.

Candidate's Comments:
Mostly I oppose 16 & 17 because I don't trust your motives. I mean, it sounds great, but it smells like a cover for persecuting LGBT kids. I'd prefer to simply separate school and state so parents can choose exactly what they want in the educational marketplace and we can stop arguing about this stuff.
