VA Teachers: which gubernatorial candidate would be better for education (single policy opinion)

[Anonymous]

For God's sake, you are handing over public education to the sewer if Youngkin is elected. Can you not understand that?

Governor has no control over education. It is locally decided at the school board level.

Isn’t he pushing charter schools? To destroy public schools in low-income areas?

To this point- I received a mailer today from the McAuliffe campaign warning that Youngkin will defund school resource and security officers and that TM will keep my kids safe at school. But our local SB has already eliminated SROs from schools in our district. And I thought that removing SROs was a democratic priority- it was in our county. So to the extent SROs are important to me, I'm probably already leaning away from the democratic candidate.

I get that McAuliffe seems to be looking for a way to connect with concerned public school parents but as you said, a lot of the relevant decisions are or have already been made at the local level.

If these were people who valued education they would be educated enough not to fall for Youngkin’s nonsense.

Yes, that’s exactly what Youngkin wants to do. Virginia would have its own Betsy DeVos.

That is untrue. Local school systems are subject to VDOE oversight, which is part of the executive branch.

It is already in the sewer. How much worse it can get?

McAuliffe campaign is desperate and began spitting lie after lie (including the number of children in the hospital with Covid). They are so busy lying that they didn't even know that some schools already eliminated SRO, went downhill and re-instated them.

They also eliminated in some FCPS schools after Abrar Omeish pushed for that.
