“I don’t have a strong position on whether the government should legislate morality,” he said.

For example, Bujak said he would drop the state’s appeal of a federal court ruling that will, if upheld, legalize same-sex marriage in Idaho. Looking at the way courts have been trending on the issue, he thinks the state will lose.

“I think the writing’s pretty much on the wall,” he said.

And, he thinks the money spent on the fight could’ve gone to better use.

“That’s $1 million (that) could’ve gone to our schools,” he said.

As for education, Bujak said his biggest issue is rolling back Common Core education standards in Idaho.

“I would do what I can to make sure it went the way of the dodo bird,” he said.

Bujak said school districts and localities should develop their own standards.

“I think it’s different, depending on the community in which you live,” he said. “What works in Boise might be different than a more rural community.”

Bujak said he supports homeschooling, and a voucher system for parents who want to send their kids to private schools.
