Issues

COVID-19

In 2022, Schroer opposed the Biden administration's COVID-19 vaccine requirements for health care workers.[5]

Education

In 2023, Schroer supported legislation which prevents public schools from teaching Critical Race Theory and which requires schools to provide parents curriculum materials for their children.[6] In 2024, Schroer sponsored the amendment to ensure that the locker rooms and restrooms students use matches their biological sex.[7]

Defamation lawsuit

In April 2024, Schroer was sued, along with two other Missouri state senators, for false light by Denton Loudermill of Olathe, Kansas, after Schroer shared a tweet by Congressman Tim Burchett that displayed an image on social media of a man in handcuffs, with a claim that one of the shooters was an undocumented immigrant at the 2024 Kansas City parade shooting, along with a question whether the claim had been confirmed or debunked by local law enforcement.[8] That case was dismissed after the Court granted Senator Schroer's Motion to Dismiss [9]
