Steve Roberts is a self-described libertarian who advocates for voucher-style programs; while on the State Board of Education he had a record of highly objectionable behavior.
Stand Up Blue Valley
Roberts received criticism in 2014 for using the n-word during a State Board of Education meeting, and then doubled-down on his use of the word. Earlier this year, Roberts spoke during public comment and stated that he believes the cap for accepting out of district students should be at 100%, meaning that any student outside of the district should be able to attend here if there is a single space available for that student. This would leave no seats for students in families moving into the district mid-year.

Roberts' tenure on the State Board of Education and his varied (often confusing and contradictory) education beliefs demonstrate that he is not a good fit for a school board position. His time in office at the State Board of Education was fraught with controversy and unconventional behavior, such as using the N-word during a board meeting and derailing a meeting during the pandemic by reading from his lengthy list of education beliefs for seven minutes. No public education advocacy group has endorsed his candidacy.
