If elected, what is your vision for moving our community forward?
We need to get back to the basics. We used to have the best schools in the world when we concentrated on the core academic subjects. Today, academics have become an afterthought in our public schools. Our schools seem more concerned with indoctrinating students according to political agendas than with teaching those academic fundamentals that will prepare our children for a meaningful future. My vision is to prepare every child for the best future possible by teaching those skills that have a track record for success.
Editor's note: Hebron did not indicate specific evidence to substantiate his claims about "indoctrinating students" and "political agendas."
