Campaign themes
2013
Bradford provided the following statement for the 2013 Local Voters' Pamphlet in Benton County:[4]
|
"I chose to run this year as an answer to my opponent's choice to actively suppress the rights of a protected group in our community. It is important to maintain a strict seperation between Church and State. It is NOT the job of the School District to teach and/or enforce morals based on discriminatory and bigoted religious teachings. Public education should teach Ethics, without religious bias. I believe that any and all clubs and organizations that meet in an academic setting should have an academic focus. Outside of the academic setting of the classroom, district facilities should be available to any group that would otherwise be permitted to utilize those facilities under federal (20 USC 4071) and state law. As I have promised in the past, I will advocate for the implementation of Bloom's Taxonomy, ensure that the needs of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as pertains to education are met, and that the book "The Pedagogy of the Oppressed" by Paolo Freire is referenced to student learning. When you vote, remember the phrase "Bradford for the Board."" |
