If you live in Franconia/Kingstowne area (District 43 in VA)

Check out Brenton Hammond, running for state delegate. He is refreshing and not a “politician.” He is a black, conservative, former secret service agent who decided to run to unseat the Dem incumbent. I really like his common sense views about schools, law enforcement, the economy, and trying to make VA better for the next generation. I’m becoming more interested in local politics and want a change. I’m upset about specific issues such as the Virginia Math Pathways Initiative, and I think he is someone who would not support the state board of education going forward with this plan. I went to a meet and greet and was really impressed.

He lost me at "school choice and parents having the power to decide where is best for their child to attend school" and "indoctrination" by the public schools.

I think people can come to a reasoned disagreement on school choice, but once you start talking about "indoctrination" in public schools, you've immediately lost all credibility.

Has school choice panned out as advertised anywhere?

Truly, the evidence is mixed. It seems to help in some ways in some cities (modest increases in college enrollment and maybe even graduation too, modest decreases in propensity to turn up in the criminal justice system), and not so much in others. Personally, I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze, but if I squint hard enough, I can see a reasonable person making the case for it.

In any event, it is conclusively not the panacea Republicans fantasize it is. And again, when one starts to talk about "indoctrination" in public schools, they've completely jumped the shark.

If Hammond has the feathers ruffled in this Peanut Gallery, he definitely has my support

McAuliffe says parents should have no say in what their children are taught in schools.

Harvard prof is pushing banning homeschooling in US (this was put on hold due to pandemic) but is slowly reemerging as a movement.

I guess if you agree with what your kids are being taught it does not seem like indoctrination but if you don't agree it does? Maybe attend a school board meeting in Loudoun County and see how the parents feel about the curriculum.

From where are you getting this info? If you are referencing the sound bite from the debate that has been rehashed repeatedly in campaign commercials, that was snipped from a comment made specifically about parents removing books from school shelves.

It was working great in DC until Obama stopped it.

Uh, what? Do you mean Superman?

And to say that school was ever working great in DC, well, we're all entitled to our own opinions, I guess.
