I'm just glad Northam had the foresight to transfer ownership of Richmond's confederate statutes to the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia, to limit Youngkin's ability to restore them.

Restore? He can order new statues to be built.

Sure, if he wants any future political career to be dead in the water. It’s one thing to preserve what already exists. It’s a different matter entirely to go out of your way to commission new statues to celebrate the confederacy. He would immediately become the pro-slavery governor.

None of which is going to happen. ^^^ Do you people actually enjoy spinning crazy stories about things that are never going to happen, and then getting outraged about these non-existent scenarios? That's very disturbing.

Do you disagree that many if not most of Youngkin's followers would want the statues restored?

Yep, I disagree. You are looking for a problem where there isn't one.

Did you bother to read the post to which that was responding? The person before pp is the one who suggested Youngkin could have new statutes built, not the poster you are attacking and degrading.

Reading is fundamental. Try it some time.

I was addressing the ridiculous, hypothetical situations each poster was discussing. Deal with it.

This is a good man. Happy to have him here in VA.

He's a terrible person. Just awful.

+1. Looks like he just hosted his first super spreader event. Not a mask in the room and I bet half of the room is unvaccinated.

JFC, it’s not May 2020. Back to the bunker.

Dear Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin,

Have you ever been in a classroom when a teacher invites a child over for small group time and the child responds, “my mom said I don’t have to listen to you!”?

Have you ever been in a classroom when a teacher asks a student to put their phone away and they say, “my mom said I could keep it out.”

Or what about when a teacher assigns homework and the student says, “my mom said it was a dumb assignment so I didn’t need to do it.”

I completely understand that parents have different opinions about masks and a zillion other things - but when a governor announces “schools can set policies, but parents can choose not to follow them,” we are setting a very, very dangerous precedent.

For that matter, why does my daughter ever have to follow dress code again? Why does my son have to wear shoes? Heck, why do I need to worry about the attendance policy?

What if a parent tells a kid they can bring a weapon to school for personal protection? Or, like in Michigan, a parent refuses to follow school policy and our children are murdered because of it.

I 100% support parents making the best choices for their students, but that’s why homeschool and private school exist. When we send our kids to their school (or to a restaurant, a public library, or dentist, or…) part of choosing to send them there means we have to follow their rules. That’s something we learn in our citizenship units.

Sincerely,

A mom, educator, and citizen

The rule now is, masks are optional.

The law says that public schools must, to the greatest extent possible, adhere to mitigation efforts provided by the CDC.

The law is ambiguous on the mask point. So for the moment, the governor’s order prevail. Angry counties can challenge it in court.

Nope. They will comply with the law. If Youngkin wants to enforce his bogus EO he can try to send in troops.

It’s ambiguous. We resolve such matters in courts, not with “troops.” SMH.

All you need to know about him is the sh!tty stunt his son tried to pull on election day. No child of a decent person would have tried to do that.

Hmm. You sure you want to go there?

Looks like she represents parts of Norfolk and maybe Virginia Beach?

The lack of any substantive response is noted.

Idiocy like this doesn't deserve a substantive response. It deserves to be mocked.

It's only LWNJs who see racism where there is none. On what planet is what he said in any way "racist"? He was randomly mentioning names of VA schools and possible future partnerships.

What's it like to live in a world in which you are constantly offended - over nothing?

Well, you can certainly hope, amirite? Enjoy the next four years of wasting energy, hoping our governor fails. You are the one looking like a fool.

Which Virginia HBCUs have programs in Entertainment?

Declining school systems, like APS seems to be, will gleefully seize on this, along with many useful idiots, to unite against a common enemy. Not that many people really care too much whether elementary school students continue to incorrectly wear cloth masks anymore. But this is too rich of an opportunity to pass up.

LOL, a similar EO was struck down in Tennessee as violating the ADA, but you think it will fare better in Virginia?

[Anonymous]

His EO #9 on the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative is a farce. Does Youngkin really believe he can unilaterally repeal legislation?
