Please explain.

DP. He keeps race-baiting by talking about CRT being taught in public schools, which simply is not happening.

+100000

Please do your homework people. Youngkin is lying depending on where he is speaking. UGH.

Youngkin had a slogan with no substance.

I agree Youngkin’s plan is very thin and McAuliffe is more thought out , but Youngkin isn’t wrong on slamming McAuiffe on his statement about parents. I do worry that McAuliff’s plan to “Address modern-day segregation in schools and create an Education Equity and Innovation Commission, Fund, and a school integration officer,” is code for minority students are too stupid to learn, so we’ll water the standards down. It is disingenuous and insulting to everyone when this crap is pulled. I want all kids to succeed. I don’t think tests tell the whole story of a child’s intelligence, so I’d like to see more opportunities given to kids with potential make the cut. However, I don’t think it’s right to move kids up if they haven't demonstrated mastery of a subject. I’d to see more individualized student plans rather than more one-size fits all plans. Help kids develop their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. -OP

You don’t sound very open to considering how teachers view the two candidates. It sounds like you’ve made up your mind already.

I’m interested in hearing what teachers think. They have a different perspective. I grew up in a multi-generation immigrant household and everyone was expected to fall in line behind the Ds without fail. My grandparents were very involved politically at the local level. I don’t blindly follow anyone. I will likely vote 3rd party.

Princess Blanding? What is her position on education?

+1 I also think this whole thread is disingenuous BS on OP’s part and that she doesn’t give a crap about how teachers think and just is trying to lie about CRT again some more, but everyone should know that the third party candidate is not in the middle.

Apparently OP is a conservative-leaning ultra liberal. 😂

Yes, blending together algebra and geometry is just SO WOKE.

I'm a teacher. I support McAuliffe, strongly.

The VEA put out a candidate comparison chart, so that may give you a pretty good sense of how teachers view the election.

Given Youngkin wants to take monies away from public school he's a no vote.

Vague promises, few details. Glenn Youngkin’s education plan does not mention anything about public education funding; however, he has discussed private partnership schools that slowly remove all funding for public education. Additionally, he favors using Virginia’s $4.3 billion slice from the American Rescue Plan for school choice programs and vouchers instead of funding public education.

The VEA does not speak for all teachers. They are political and always choose the Democrat.

Uh. Probably because Democrats support teachers and education.

Are there specific things you dispute in that chart? I have no doubt there are teachers who plan to vote for Youngkin, but that’s not necessarily related to his views on education.
