EDUCATION

I oppose student loan forgiveness, because it is unfair to impose on all taxpayers the costs of bailing out students who made unwise financial choices.  Loan forgiveness is a form of political bribe to buy votes that is morally wrong.

That said, it should be easier to discharge such debts in bankruptcy. Bankruptcy laws must be reformed.

More emphasis must be given to education that assists entry into the trades.

There is a general lack of understanding of how governments operate.  More civic education would give students the knowledge, skills, and disposition necessary to become informed and engaged citizens.

I support H.R. 5, the Parents Bill of Rights Act to guarantee parents the right to know what is being taught, the right to be heard, the right to see the school budget and spending, the right to protect their child’s privacy, and the right to be updated on any violent activity at school.

I also support H.R. 734, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which would recognize that allowing a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program designed for women or girls is sex discrimination.
