Because he’s smart, successful and doing great things for his state and other people. You know, all the good things the left intrinsically hates.

What has he done as governor?

I’m wondering the same.

Well for one extremely important thing, his education policies are parent centered

Well, I'm a Virginia parent. I would like my children to be taught sex education (and none of that abstinence only crap), I would like them to learn about our country's history of systemic racism, and I want them to have access to books with queer characters, and I think there should be gender neutral bathrooms in all schools so kids of all gender expressions feel safe and supported. Are you good with that?

No I’m not. And I’m a VA parent too. It is my job (and yours too, except you seem all too willing to shirk it) to teach my kids about sex, including that abstinence only crap if that is in line with our values.

Then send them to Catholic/private school..you have a choice. No one is forcing you to send your kid to a public school.

If you can’t afford it, then work harder. Isn’t that what you all say?

Why should I be forced to send my kids to private schools when I pay taxes to support public schools? Are you advocating for vouchers now?

No one is forcing you to private either. It’s your choice. And your wallet.

That’s correct. And my wallet is funding public schools. Therefore, I have a say in how they are administered and curriculum policies

You have exactly the same say as every other voter. No more, no less.

Of course. And when the vast majority of parents feel more or less as I do, you’ll shut up, right?

Welcome Governor Glen Youngkin

"The vast majority of parents" do not feel as you do. Did not in 2021, certainly don't in 2023.

Oh but they do, as evidenced in Youngkin win.

No. Even if the only issue in the race had been "parents' rights" to limit other parents' rights - which it wasn't - Youngkin won with 50.6% of the vote.

Nobody is stopping you from teaching your children about anything you want to teach them about. Do your job as a parent, teach your children, yay. The issue here is that you don't want anybody else to also teach your children. To achieve that goal, your best bet is home-schooling.

That is not true. I want an expert in science to teach my kids science, a language specialist to teach my kid’s Spanish and so on. That is what I am paying for.

So ... you want certified professional teachers to teach your kids, because you are not qualified? Yet you're qualified to tell these certified professional teachers what they should and shouldn't teach your kids? Huh.

That’s correct, yes.

First of all, you have no idea who I am and what my qualifications are, so keep that in mind.

And second, we are talking about general curricula, not what individual teachers present in their specific classrooms.

I was taking your own word for it that you aren't qualified.

I don't need to explain the connection between the curriculum and what teachers do in their classrooms, because the connection is obvious.

5‰ raises for state workers. Repealed the grocery tax, reduced to 1% for now.

All of those are things that Governor Northam proposed in his budget. Try again though.

Huh. In Maryland, the grocery tax is 0%.

We still have a few Democrats in the commonwealth legislature that think it is a good idea to tax people for eating.

Democrats have been proposing repealing the grocery tax for years. Northam ran on it in 2017 and but Republicans blocked it all the way until election season came around. If they were serious about doing it now, they would do so in a way that kept local funding there.

You do know you are allowed to opt your kids out of sex ed, right? Always have been. Just do that instead of trying to make the education shitty for everyone else.

Yup. You have a vote in local elections just like everyone else. But you don't get to say "I don't want any of these kids to be taught about sex ed" when the vast majority does.

Oh please. “The vast majority.” Hyperbolic much?

Basic sex ed is one thing. Agenda- driven sex ed is something else and you know it. Don’t pretend your “vast majority” supports that.

Basic sex ed is one thing. Agenda- driven sex ed is something else and you know it. Don’t pretend your “vast majority” supports that.

The agenda is: providing complete, accurate information to kids. That scares some people. I have never understood why; or rather, I am familiar with the reasons they provide, but they don't make any sense to me.
