Candidate's Comments:

We already have discrimination against sex. This is enough. Parents must be involved when a child is struggling with confusion. But I don't think young children nor teenagers should be focused on physically changing their sexual identity. They don't have a clue of what they want at these young ages. It could cause them more trauma and harm mentally as they grow older. I believe counseling is adviced and the parent should make such a discussion hopefully a parent would not allow such a drastically Life changing choice. Let our children be children. Focus on their education and goals.

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:

Parents are taxpayers and are children's first teachers. They should have the right to participate in every level of their children education amd what they are being taught in school.

A parent knows their children of course parents should be notified immediately about anything pertaining to their children. They are our children not people who run Systems.
