I don't t see this as a problem? Now, sending your kids to private school while choosing not to fund or better public schools would be bad. It's a good thing McAuliffe didn't do that. Wait. Who does that agin? Could it be the school choice party? Hmm//


Its not like Youngkin sent his kids to public school. McLean/DC privates.


Agreed, utter strawman. You can advocate for public schools while sending your kids to private. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Saying you support public schools while wanting to slash funding for them, then blaming the teachers, is what Republicans do.


Denying parents stuck with the government option the hope of the choice you yourself have is, in fact, hypocritical.

You only have choice if you can fund a private education above and beyond every other expense.

Terrible schools and terrible teachers that SOME parents are stuck with but we believe in the promise and wonder of public school so much that we tell them to suck it up and deal for their kids' entire childhoods-- we'll fix it (maybe. eventually.) and even if we don't you can't leave. After all, you can't afford better.

This fear that public schools will fall apart if all parents have a choice in schools is very telling. It's so great you have to prevent people from running away.



Well said. Loyalty to the educational bureaucracy in return for endorsements and votes is what matters to the likes of Terry McAuliffe; a good education for kids stuck in under-performing, ignored public schools is not their priority.


This is naive. The vouchers can usually only pay for subpar privates. Just because a kid is in private, does not guarantee they are getting a better education. Just like charters. They have not proven to be better academically. I know it's a good talking point, but the data does not support your argument.


This, it would need to be at least 25k a kid in nova to actually allow kids to attend a halfway decent school. Aside from the lack of seats at those schools, it would be cripplingly expense

Does youngkin support vouchers sufficient to allow children to attend privates, if so where is the money coming from?



The GOP wants to defund public schools.

Virginia has some of the best public schools in the country, so I'm not sure what you think you're getting at here.

Well Youngkin's platform is he's going to make all these good things in VA better and he's going to do it by cutting 70% of VA revenue but make it up from growth. It's a plan that worked for GW Bush so I'm voting for Youngkin.

Sarcasm worked better before Trump. Now reality itself is ridiculous.

That’s a thing of the distant past.

So Youngkin's latest commercial has him talking about "cutting regulations" for small businesses so that Virginia's "job engine starts again" and businesses "don't leave the state."

Huh? Isn't Virginia's "job engine" one of the best in the country? What business is leaving the state?

It's truly not. The information is out there if you're willing to tear yourself away from Fox News for a minute.

Listen man, when you have one of the best flower bushes in the neighborhood what do you do to make it better? You cut it. Same with small businesses.

Nope. When it comes to starting a business in VA, it ranks 33 - not great (but better than Maryland).
Virginia

Overall Rank: 33
Business Tax Climate Rank: 25
Startup Activity Rank: 48
The percentage of the population in Virginia that starts a new business is only 0.18 percent, among the lowest rates of new entrepreneurs in the study. The share of entrepreneurs who started their business due to opportunity is lower in Virginia, implying that the share that started them out of necessity is higher.

But the biggest negative for starting a business in Virginia is the poor survival rate. Only 46.7 percent of new businesses founded in 2014 have survived to 2019.

Small businesses are terrible employers- bad pay and exempt from worker protections. We should be encouraging large businesses
