Liberty in Education

Share on Social Media:

Our country was founded on individual liberty. Unlike other countries that place the importance of the overall population over the rights of the individual, our Founders knew better!

The US Constitution tells us how our government is to be run, but the Declaration of Independence tells us why. It’s our “mission statement.” When Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he relied heavily on the work of the renown 17th century English philosopher, John Locke. Like Locke, I believe that our rights do not derive from government or even the Constitution itself, but rather are natural and God given. The whole purpose of government is to secure those unalienable rights for all of its individual citizens. Unfortunately, there seems to be a growing number of people within our school system and within our country that believe in Marxist collectivism and want to destroy individual liberty.

For many years I have been fighting locally for our individual rights. When our county government was shutting down our local businesses during COVID-19, I stood with local patriots at Reopen protests. When our school board was kicking citizens out of their board meetings for refusing to wear a mask, I filed suit against them in Superior Court.

I am passionate about liberty, and I will bring that same passion to the New Hanover County Board of Education. Defending the individual rights of parents and students will be my #1 priority!
