  • "Now the Federal government has control of the money sent to each state’s school system. Currently, they can force states (by threatening to withhold funds) to teach nonsense such as Common Core, Critical race theory, and such. We need to change that back to how it was before 1979. Before 1979, there was no Department of Education at the federal level. Vote to take the federal government out of our education system. Return all tax money slated for education to the States."

Guns are the equalizer. Even a frail man or slight-statured woman can defend themselves if they have this tool." (chessforcongress.com)
