“With the exception of cases involving a lack of exercised personal agency, i.e. rape (whether forcible or statutory), pregnancy is a natural - as in imposed by nature, not man - and eminently foreseeable consequence of sex. Consequences imposed by nature do not grant license to murder.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
“This is not education, it's indoctrination into a Marxian faith system of metaphysics and dogma, and it's hurting kids. We need to go beyond the current anti-CRT legislation to removing Social Emotional Learning (practicing psychology), gender ideology (Queer Theory), and all derivatives of Critical Theory and Intersectionality.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
“Given the disastrous state of higher education the last thing the state should be doing is further subsidizing it. If anything, we should be looking at seizing endowments to pay student loans for providing indoctrination instead of education, and training up objectively harmful Marxist ideologues instead of contributing members of society.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
