In just a few years, my oldest will be of school age.
Recent events have shocked my wife and I. Children are coerced into medical decisions without the knowledge or consent of their parents. They are segregated and forced to mask up. Children are indoctrinated with sexual “education” that is highly inappropriate for any age. These practices are discriminatory and anti inclusive as they explicitly go against the religious beliefs and traditions of so many families, including my own.
We love our boys so much! They are our life! We will not give them over to the manipulations and brainwashing of the current system! It simply needs to be reformed.- We must DEFEND PARENTAL RIGHTS. Parents are the sole guardians of their children. Parental wishes must be respected. We must look for ways to protect the interests of the parents against the overreaches of the federal and state governments. Parents are the only ones who should make medical decisions for their children. No child should be forced to mask up or be vaccinated against the wishes of the parents. No one has the right to advise children and offer medical services without the explicit consent and approval of parents.
- Transparency and Fiscal Responsibility. Parents must have easy access to the school curriculum and lesson plans taught in the classrooms. We must make sure to save in order to reinvest into upgrading old facilities and building new ones without imposing new burdens onto the hardworking taxpayers. In order to reinvest and save more, we must always actively look for cutting waste and becoming more efficient and competitive.
- School Safety. With all urgency, we must continue our partnership with local law enforcement and train all available faculty members to recognize dangers early on and respond appropriately. We need to review the vulnerabilities and response plans of each school in our district.
The schools must work to support, and not undermine the authority of parents. We live in a diverse society with a wide spectrum of cultural practices, traditions, political leanings, religious beliefs, etc. Teachers must embrace this diversity and not promote ideals contrary to the ones sought to be instilled by parents in the home.
A successful education is guaranteed if there is a partnership between parents and teachers. This partnership will only be successful if there is mutual trust and respect. This trust cannot be established until parental authority and interests are held in the highest regard.
I strongly believe that the role of each local body, including the School Board, is to defend its constituents from the overreach of higher bodies, the overreaches of the county, state, and federal governments. Decision making should be decentralized as much as possible and left up to the local bodies. When it comes to the education of our children, the final decisions should be made by each individual parent.
