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.


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.


Who do you want to teach sex ed then? An "expert"?




There should be no “sex ed,” beyond basic biology


Why not? You want a bunch of horny, ignorant teens running around VA? How do you think that will turn out?



Are their parents suddenly incapable of speaking on the subject?


What do you teach your kid about birth control options and STDs?

If you believe that, you can opt your kids out of it. Nobody is making them sit through the lessons! I'm glad my kids have though, now I know they can use a damn condom like your parents should've

I’m guessing not much…

You may regret that when they end up with syphilis and an unplanned pregnancy.

PP, I'm so happy that you have such a wonderful relationship with your kids. Not all kids are so lucky. So, you opt your kids out of sex ed if you want, while the other kids take it and benefit from it. Not everything has to be for you or your kids.

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?


Why should I be forced to ban books because you’re scared your child will actually learn about the world.

Suck it up and pay tuition. It’s not difficult, just work harder..

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


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.


Why are these staunch republicans so scared about sex? It’s agenda driven to learn about homosexuality? There is a decent chance your child, or one of their good friends, is gay.

Your kids will be the ones getting pregnant in high school/ college.

It’s not banning books. In many cases it’s actually banning pornography. Surely you can agree that is not appropriate for public schools to be providing to students?

LoL. Even if this is true, you admit that not all books banned are “pornography.” So why are they being banned?

This is why we need sex ed at school. Too many parents falling down on the job.

Everyone should learn about sex, contraceptives, STDs, etc. Ignorance only causes problems.

Anyone who says this either blissfully has their head in the sand or truly does not know the content of the books in question. They are completely inappropriate for minors.

You didn't read much growing up, did you? This is a slippery slope. I'm a girl and I read Judy Blume growing up. Now a popular genre for youth books include graphic novels so there are pictures too. I guess you take the male oriented POV that pictures are soooo much worse than words? As a female, I don't. Just another way of conveying a scene. Words can actually be more... er, "potent" for me and many other women, but do you want to ban words too? Should we start with Shakespeare?

The books are fine for highschool students and not any different than what Judy Blume (nor worse than texts in the Bible and other books), except that a bunch of ninnies are freaked out about THE PICTURES!
