Campaign summary from "The Beacon", September 2022: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
"Education Not Indoctrination!" I promise to work at keeping politics out of the school system. This will be a difficult task. Most educational institutions are owned and administrated by governmental agencies that often disdain independent and critical thinking students. | |||
Moreover, many educational bureaucrats are loyal to the dictates of labor unions rather than to parents, who foot the bill. | |||
I will try to keep an eye on educators who want children to follow a particular political narrative that promotes victimhood, dependency, anti-liberal values, and an entitlement mentality, which can lead to the detriment of quality education. | |||
