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?

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..

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?

No, it’s not pornography.

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.

I have read the books, have you?

Not all mature content is pornography. It's appropriate for older teens.

Yes I have, at least as much of it as I could stomach. Or get through without laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of the poorly written text.

No, mature content does not belong in school libraries. How about this- if you’re so eager for your teens to learn the ins and outs of gay sex (pun intended) go buy them these books.

And these people are peculiarly interested in making sure their kids have access to graphically sexual books. They’re free to buy them or borrow from their local pubic library to share with their own kids. Graphic images of blowjobs, dildos, masturbation, etc. do not belong in school libraries. I have to wonder if these morons are parents at all.

And to the idiot PP who questions whether we’ve read the books in question - of course we have. Which is why when you gaslight us about what’s actually in them, we will call you out on it. Funny how school boards wouldn’t even allow excerpts of these books to be read aloud in SB meetings because, “There might be children present!” Perfect example of the absolute hypocrisy on the left.

If you don't want your children to read those books, then forbid them from reading those books.

If you (inexplicably) want your children to read that trash, then buy it for them yourself.

Nope. That's not how it works. This is about parents' rights, yes? Well, I as a parent have a right to decide that professionals should decide which books are or are not in school libraries, instead of random people who show up to holler at school board meetings. As a parent, I want the books to be available. Those are my rights as a parent. Parents who don't want their children to read the books can tell their children not to read the books. That's your right as a parent.

They do not belong in school libraries. Period. They violate community standards of what children should have easy access to. Why are you so hellbent in having your kids read this trash?

Says you. But I, as as a parent, say they DO belong in school libraries. I also say that they ACCORD with community standards of what children should have easy access to. If you're so hellbent on your kids not reading those books, then don't let them read those books. That's your choice as a parent.

Sure, troll. Whatever you say.

We've been talking about parents. Now all of a sudden you're talking about mothers, specifically? Regardless, if you can't imagine that there are people who disagree with you about this - including parents - then you live in a hermetically-sealed bubble.

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..

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?

No, it’s not pornography.

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.

I have read the books, have you?

Not all mature content is pornography. It's appropriate for older teens.

Yes I have, at least as much of it as I could stomach. Or get through without laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of the poorly written text.

No, mature content does not belong in school libraries. How about this- if you’re so eager for your teens to learn the ins and outs of gay sex (pun intended) go buy them these books.

And these people are peculiarly interested in making sure their kids have access to graphically sexual books. They’re free to buy them or borrow from their local pubic library to share with their own kids. Graphic images of blowjobs, dildos, masturbation, etc. do not belong in school libraries. I have to wonder if these morons are parents at all.

And to the idiot PP who questions whether we’ve read the books in question - of course we have. Which is why when you gaslight us about what’s actually in them, we will call you out on it. Funny how school boards wouldn’t even allow excerpts of these books to be read aloud in SB meetings because, “There might be children present!” Perfect example of the absolute hypocrisy on the left.

If you don't want your children to read those books, then forbid them from reading those books.

If you (inexplicably) want your children to read that trash, then buy it for them yourself.

Nope. That's not how it works. This is about parents' rights, yes? Well, I as a parent have a right to decide that professionals should decide which books are or are not in school libraries, instead of random people who show up to holler at school board meetings. As a parent, I want the books to be available. Those are my rights as a parent. Parents who don't want their children to read the books can tell their children not to read the books. That's your right as a parent.

Nope. You as a parent are perfectly within your rights to buy your children whatever trash you want. Knock yourself out. Or get it at the public library. You don't, however, have the right to insist this trash is available to any child other than your own. Sorry to disappoint!

I do have that right.

You have the right to opt your child out. You do not have the right to opt my child out.

I’m still fascinated by the concept of a mother who believes that her child actually should be reading this trash.

Which is how we know you’re a troll.

You’re not a parent. You most likely don’t even live here. You’re bored and scared and taking out your frustrations on DCUM. Not that you asked but exercise helps.

We've been talking about parents. Now all of a sudden you're talking about mothers, specifically? Regardless, if you can't imagine that there are people who disagree with you about this - including parents - then you live in a hermetically-sealed bubble.

Agree you’re a troll.

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.

Your lack of self-awareness is hilarious. You don’t, however, have the right to insist books you don’t like or approve of *not* be available to any child at the school other than your own. Sorry to disappoint!

Oh, come off it. These books have been discussed ad nauseam and the graphics in question are all over the internet. Stop playing dumb. Gender Queer, Lawn Boy, etc.

What graphics are in Lawn Boy? You said you saw them?

I would certainly rather my kids learn about these things in a book than from their peers

You'd like your kids to learn about giving blowjobs, wearing a dildo, and using a vibrator - from a trashy graphic novel? Your poor kids.

How do you teach your kids about dildos and vibrators?

Repeatedly, people ignoring that Bibles are in public school libraries and Bibles have explicit and horrific sexual and violent description.

The double standard and hypocrisy are very obvious.
