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.


+1
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.


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?


The fact that the left actively wants kids reading about dildos and vibrators is so messed up.


You said you don’t want your teens learning about those things from a book. Do you prefer the interwebs? TV? YouTube? Pornhub?

Go ask your teen if they know about them. And where they learned about them.

These “youth” don’t need to be living out their sex lived at school. Stay on topic please.

So when I was a high school girl, using the girls' bathroom and going to prom with my high school boyfriend, was that living out my sex life at school? Or does that not apply to people who are cis/het?

God forbid your middle school child learns how sex works. Suprise, he's rubbing one out every night in his bedroom anyways. Get over it you prudes.


Thanks for displaying the kind of "intellect" the left represents. Wow.


I grew up going to a Catholic school in Potomac and kids were getting HJs in the back of the rooms at school dances, myself included. Middle school in the 90s in a conservative catholic school. What do you think is happening now? Get over yourself. Your kids are into sex, one way or another.

You are confusing urinating with sex. Ok. There is only so much we can help you with.

Kids are actually much less sexually active than they were when we were in high school and middle school in the 90s.

So when trans people use bathrooms at school, is that or is that not "living out their sex lives at school"? One or the other, please. I would be happy to cross "BATHROOM PANIC!!!!!!!!!!1111111" off the list of culture-war issues.

Because they are all watching half naked girls on tik tok/instagram and rubbing one out in their bathroom

These books are nowhere as scandalous as social media.

That may be true but the books still do not belong in schools, as tik tok does not

I think the books belong in schools. I think professionals (educators, school librarians) should make the decisions about which books belong in schools. I think if you don't want your kids to read those books, it's your right as a parent to forbid your kids from checking out or reading those books, just like if you don't want your kids on Tiktok, it's your right as a parent to forbid your kids from using Tiktok.

Yes, obviously we disagree. You have your opinion, I have my opinion. I don't purport to speak on behalf of all parents and a unanimous community.

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.


No one is “opting your child out.” Once again, you are perfectly free to buy your own kids whatever graphically sexual material you choose. The point is that it does not belong in school libraries. That this is the hill you want to die on just makes it abundantly clear that we’re dealing with LWNJ extremists.
