AG seems like the most possible possible, I think.

Voucher money can go directly to kids already in private schools - just like it did in Indiana.

We don't hate public schools here. We're mad right now. But we don't hate public schools and we don't want to destroy them. We don't want vouchers.

That’s unfortunate since Glenn Youngkin specifically campaigned on school vouchers.

DP and I sure as hell want vouchers. I don’t think they destroy schools and I do think school choice is at least a step in the right direction. I’m a former IB public school teacher and I’d never want my kids going where I used to teach.

Of course they destroy schools. That's the point.

Well they do destroy the school that parents are desperate to get out of, but, good.

If you’ve never sent your kids to or worked in that kind of school, you don’t get it. You are living in your GS10 bubble. But I’ve seen some shit and I would do anything to give those kids a lifeboat out of there.

You think those kids will secure a spot at a private? Most won’t and the schools will continue to decline.

I think anything—ANYTHING—is better than where they are now. A charter that fails halfway through the school year. A 90 minute commute across town to a rich kid school. A parochial school. Anything.

You “liberals” are offering nothing but more money for the same failing staff. No thank you. I want to save the kid, not the school.

Wow, I didn’t realize the gap is now less than 60k votes.

Parents have had enough

I agree parents have had enough, but it’s not all about CRR and trans issues. Democrats closed schools for an entire year. People living in Virginia looked around at republican run states and saw their kids in school. With COVID not over and threats of new variants constantly talked about, no way do parents want another Democrat in charge.

Our area schools brought kids back in to the buildings around the same time as many other schools.

5-11 can get vaccinated within days.

Totally irrational decision making.

It was irrational for the Ds to have their head in the sand on how big of an issue this really was.

What? School closures? They happened all over the world. There was a global pandemic.

No, we lagged way behind the rest of the world in getting our kids back to learning.

I’ve seen it and I don’t think vouchers are the answers. They leave the worst of the worst in public school rather than improving for all.

You’re not improving for all now. You’re just sitting in your GS10 bubble failing all the kids except your richie rich kids and your neighbors. It’s gross. You’re gross.

Well, at least you’re honest about it.

This is exactly my point. You have your head in the sand about all the schools that were open in the US and how pissed people were that they weren’t here.

No, but Dave Wasserman is not just some rando on Twitter.

He's terrible for VA, for democracy and for the country. Thanks, Virginia - whether intentionally or through negelct, you've collectively given a monster a national platform. Sigh.

A year ago a stock market was soaring, gas was less than $2.00. No killed soldiers in Afghanistan. Good times.

Stock market still soaring.

And border closed, wages had risen for low income workers, better situation in Iran, Hong Kong, Taiwan, fewer COVID deaths in 2020 than in 2021.

Starting tomorrow I’m going to start hauling my garbage cans across the American Legion Bridge and dumping them out along Georgetown Pike or Chain Bridge Road every week. Odds are some of it will wind up in the yards of the scum that voted for this racist, sexist, evil monster.

If Virginia wants to be trash, then I’m going to help you look the part.

Enjoy my litter.

Nope. When our kids went back in Feb/Mar there were many other schools (~40%) still transitioning back to school at the same time.
