You think Republicans would have kept schools closed? I hava bridge to sell you. These are the people iffy and wishy washy about masks and vaccines. Don’t let your anger about the timing of one issue that you didn’t like blind you to how the world is working. |
Nope. I'm a Youngkin supporter who knows he would never allow schools to close down the way the Democrat Governor of Virginia - Northam - or his wannabee successor McAuliffe - did and still would. |
You are not even making sense. So you are criticizing the democrats for keeping schools open when that’s what you wanted? You’re just pissed at covid disrupting your life. So you’re going in for the party that pushes the narrative that refusing to vaccinate is about “liberty”, that masks are for weenies, and being patriotic is all about me,me,me instead of banding together to protect our community. |
+1000. Youngkin would have handled Covid in the schools like DeSantis did in FL- schools open, vulnerable protected snd everyone much, much better off. If you know anyone in Florida with kids in school ask them how happy they are that their kids were not subjected to the madness. |
If you think schools shouldn’t have closed down at all, weren’t you glad when Northam stepped in to override school boards and force them to reopen? Your posts aren’t really making sense. |
Youngkin is for vouchers, which is a No for me. Ymmv Youngkin is for banning abortions, which is a No for me. Ymmv |
Oh please the Richmond push was led by Republicans. Sorry you hate that and its so nice of you to try to take credit - very Clintonian of you. The measure was sponsored by Republican Sen. Siobhan Dunnavant, who is a doctor. “We must open schools,” Dunnavant said, urging her colleagues to “listen to the science.” She said there’s no evidence to support keeping children out of in-person school and warned that vulnerable children were being left behind. The bill reads, “Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia: ... That each local school division in the Commonwealth shall make [ virtual and ] in-person learning available to all students by choice of the student’s parent or guardian.” |
LMAO Northam didn't step in to override anyone - as you all were vocally miserable about all 2020. The Republican bills did that work and they weren't passed until Spring 2021. Good of Northam to be a malleable door-stop and not get in the way with a veto but that's all he did. Rubberstamp the 2020 school closings and rubberstamp the 2021 school openings.

Just like much of Europe did, schools open, no masks for kids under 12. |
Northam closed schools in March 2020. Remember? |
You have to laugh at how democrats purport to support POC, but the moment some one dares think for themselves - Winsome Sears - bye. Such hypocrisy. |
It feels like Northam has been in office for 20 years. |
What are you talking about? Winsome Sears is a Republican - Democrats aren’t supporting her because of her policy positions, not her race. Also, she’s running against another POC, so by your standards no one could vote for either candidates without turning their backs on a POC. |
I’m voting for Youngkin because I’m a teacher and see first hand what is happening in public schools in the area. We need drastic changes. Many teachers in my school will be voting for him.
As for the topic of school choice, I’m all for it. Public schools need some competition. Currently they are running wild and no longer care about academics. |
Vouchers just destroy schools. That won't fix problems at the administrative level or with fads in progressive education. |
