Support
5. Critical Race Theory: Withholding state funds from any public school that promotes critical race theory.
Matt Stone (Republican)
Support
Support with conditions: I am 100 percent against Critical Race Theory being taught in our schools, the dilemma is what is the most efficient way to enforce it. As stated this could potentially bankrupt a school district and impede the education of the children in a school that have no other alternatives for education to them due to the irresponsibility of the school administration. Maybe a better alternative would be to make it illegal to teach Critical Race Theory, and immediately remove any administrator or teacher who violates the law.

Matt Stone (Republican)
Support
Support as long as there is an exception for military members overseas.

Matt Stone (Republican)
