• Keep Creationism Out of Public Schools
    Creation Theory is best taught in the home and Church, not in Public Schools. Science and Geology are subjects for academic study, not religious dogma! However well intentioned,"creationism" is not a suitable school subject. Diversity of religion is a basic foundation of American liberty. Let the parents decide religious views for their children, not the government of Indiana.

  • Give redress to educational malpractice victims
    It is only fair that this proposal be legislated and enforced in order to (1) make it clear to all educational authorities that placing and/or keeping a person of any age who is capable of learning at his/her full potential without special education in special education in even the slightest degree will not be tolerated, even if a parent and/or guardian of the person wants and/or has ever wanted the person to be in special education and (2) undo the pain, shame, suffering, and embarrassment caused as a result of one's having been a student in special education in even the slightest degree!

  • Tuition Assistance For the Senior Enlisted Soldiers to attain Doctoral Degrees
    The petition is geared toward the Armed Forces. I currently have 23 years of military and earned my Masters Degree in 2009. However, I am not schedule to retire from the military for another five or ten years. Seniors officers have the training to achieve or earn the degree before exiting the military, however, the senior enlisted are not afforded the same opportunities.

  • Treat Texas Teachers Fairly
    I am a 10 year veteran teacher who has spent all 10 years of my career at low income Texas schools. I see how bad decisions from our governor and legislature negatively affect teachers, administration, parents, and most importantly students. Texas needs to treat its teachers fairly!

  • End profits in education
    Governor Snyder is proposing extreme measures which will ensure more dollars go to "for profit schools." Government funds should be providing for adequate schools and decent salaries for staff, not providing gains for investors at the expense of public education.

  • Reduce rates on school loans
    The rate on school loans is set to double to 6.8% unless Congress acts to extend the lower rate for another year or two. Even 3.4% is too high, when the cost of other loans is lower, it isn't right that school loans cost so much.
