Position Papers
Philosophy of Public Education
Historically, the motivation for establishing American public schools was to promote literacy in order to read the Word of God and laws of the state. This paper presents supporting excerpts from the historical record, describes the modern-day humanistic (godless) approach to public education, and concludes with actions that I would support to help realign public education with its foundational Christian principles.
Why I'm Running
On routine schoolboard issues, I believe that any of my fellow candidates could do just as good a job as I could - but what about controversial issues like Parental Notification, pro-gay curriculum, and educational choice?
My Campaign Issues
Here are the issues of primary importance to me: Parental Rights, Educational Choice, Improved Learning Environment, Classroom Music, Free Health Insurance, and Holding Incumbents Accountable.
