Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
9>9 Personal answerCRT has never been taught in K-12 and should not be, no more than aviation engineering should be, not because there's something wrong with CRT or aviation engineering, but because these are beyond the appropriate scope of K-12 education. On the other hand, we absolutely should be teaching an accurate accounting of our history with respect to race (as well as gender and similar issues). |
Education › Student Loans
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Death Penalty
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as it is safe for them to return to their country |

9>9 Personal answerYes, and immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses |
Education › Free College for All
9>9 Personal answerI'm afraid, if the government paid everyone's tuition, that this would lead to spiraling inflation of college costs (already a problem today) and would also involve plunking down Harvard-style tuition payments for the children of the very wealthy. I do favor providing more government support for middle class and poor postsecondary students. I also believe we should reevaluate our standards for determining financial need so that we do not squeeze middle-class families. Perhaps government student aid could resemble government aid for health care where we pay "reasonable and customary" amounts and require the institution to accept that as payment in full in an attempt to control costs; but this probably has unintended consequences I'm not smart enough to anticipate. |

9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as it does not threaten violence |
Social › Confederate Flag
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Supreme Court Reform

Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Social › Government Mandates
9>9 Personal answerYes |

Domestic Policy › Supreme Court Financial Transactions
9>9 Personal answerJustices should be made to recuse themselves in a case involving parties with whom they have a financial or personal relationship. No question the justices should be operating under an ethics code similar to that for other federal judges, and it needs an enforcement mechanism which does not interfere with the work of the court, but holds justices to account. |

Immigration › Border Wall
9>9 Personal answerNo |

9>9 Personal answerThe use of eminent domain is important for some public goods, but we need a better process for determining that it is not applied disproportionately to the poor and the oppressed. We also need a rigorous process for determining when a private project provides sufficient public benefit to justify using eminent domain; it is overused on behalf of private companies today. |

9>9 Personal answerDecrease |

9>9 Personal answerI think there is limited room for charter schools within our educational system--for example, in large systems to provide specialized educational opportunities or to meet specialized educational needs; but I strongly oppose the movement toward using charter schools in a way that weakens the public education system. If I had to go all or nothing, then I would oppose charter schools. |
Immigration › Dual Citizenship
9>9 Personal answerYes |

9>9 Personal answerYes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation |
