God. The Bible is full of instructions on morality. The Ten Commandments are pivotal in this arena, along with a slew of other very helpful scriptures on how we should behave morally.

2. Are there only 2 genders, male and female?

Michelle Dieleman

Yes. God created them in His image and called them Man and Woman. (Gen 5:2, Gen 1:27) Scientifically speaking, Individuals having two X chromosomes (XX) are female; individuals having one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (XY) are male.

3. Do parents or the government know what is best to teach a child?

Kendra Wenzel

Parents. It is the parent's God-given right to the upbringing of their children. We will also be held accountable and responsible for those choices. (Matthew 25:14-30) Parents rights are many, including the freedom to make decisions regarding upbringing, education and healthcare.

4. Should biological boys be allowed in girls’ bathrooms?

Michelle Dieleman

Democrat

Did not respond to questionnaire.

Kendra Wenzel

Republican

No. Boys (Male: XY) should not be allowed into girls (Female: XX) restrooms. A restroom needs to be a safe place for a female to be. Males being in the restroom creates an unsafe environment for females. In order to use the restroom a female has to partially disrobe and no male belongs in that space. This includes locker rooms.
