Eric Doden on Civil Rights

 

 


Life skills for parents; no LGBTQ issues in schools

Q: The 2023 legislative session dealt with culture war topics such as LGBTQ issues and school library books. Where do you stand on those issues?

A: What I've heard from parents across the state as I've traveled is, they want transparency about what's being taught, and they want accountability, and they want to be involved and engaged. Teachers sort of teach the basics, the parents want to be able to teach the life skills and some of the moral code. To me, part of this is common sense. There's age-appropriate material. Let's just use a little common sense and make sure that we have age-appropriate material for kids as they're getting educated. As governor, my role is just to be a part of that conversation. I have a certain responsibility to make sure that the trains run on time and that we operate things well and that we have really talented agency heads that are creating efficiencies and effective government that serve people, and that's going to be my primary focus.
