The Issues At Hand
THE CURRENT ISSUES OF DISCUSSION
Critical Race Theory (CRT)
Our campaign DOES NOT support instruction of CRT in High School nor Elementary School.
As a college professor, Dr. Stew does support CRT as an elective study in college as it always has been.
Sex Education
Our campaign DOES support age appropriate sex education for all grades. As a college educator, counselor, and former employee of Child Protective Services, Dr. Stew has worked with many children who have been sexually abused. Teaching children no one should touch them and make them feel uncomfortable will reduce sexual abuse of children.
COVID 19
The safety of children at school is Dr. Stew's top priority. Our campaign supports following CDC guidelines to ensure students, teachers, and administrative staff are all safe.
