I want a plan to do over a year of school. Delay us graduation option. Improve facilities to prepare if this happens again. Improve vaccination production abilities.

All the education in the world won’t help my girls if they accidentally get pregnant under a R governor. That’s my feeeling sorry not sorry

Yo, who cancelled your sex Ed class? No one accidentally gets pregnant moron. It’s called sperm up the V and trust me that’s no accident. Teach your girls. Novel concept.

Birth control fails, dipsh*t.

^^ this is a good example of what’s wrong with the Ds.

Closing schools affected everyone.

Abortion? You claim nothing will help your daughters if they get accidentally pregnant under an R governor. That’s hysterical and an extreme overreaction. Even in Texas, your daughter can still get an abortion. Simply put your daughters on birth control and teach them to monitor their cycles. I assume you’d want your daughters to have an abortion sooner rather than later anyway. To vote based on the slim chance your daughters get pregnant while on birth control and cant manage to make it to the doctor within a few weeks, is hysterical.

Makes much more sense to vote based on an issue that will absolutely affect you - closing schools. Not some abstract event.

+100
This hysteria over abortion is really something. Especially, as other posters have pointed out, it's hysteria based on speculation, nothing more. Ridiculous people.

What is happening in Texas right now? Mississippi? Other R controlled states?

What is the SCOTUS doing right now?

What did the Rs do the last time they had the pro-life votes?

SCOTUS - including its conservative members Kavanaugh and Barrett (who have been vilified here on DCUM) is leaning toward siding with abortion providers. Funny how all your scaremongering about the conservative justices isn't quite working out the way you hysterically warned everyone.

They haven’t even heard Mississippi yet.

It’s clearly a risk.

Other than the school board lunacy and the superintendent covering up a rape and transferring the rapist to another school where he’d attempt to rape again, Loudoun is a pretty nice place. And both those problems will be getting fixed soon enough.

Besides that, how was the play Mrs Lincoln?

I’ve said it elsewhere on here. The normies are over it. They don’t want boys in their daughter’s bathrooms or sports teams. They don’t want images of oral sex in their school libraries. They don’t want to be called menstruators. They don’t want to be told they’re responsible for everything wrong in the world when they’re just doing their jobs and taking care of their kids. They’re done. Democrats need to listen instead of dismissing them as racists for not voting the way democrats want them to.

I have actually wondered how much gender issues played a role in votes for Youngkin, in addition to school closures. Trans rights are all well and good until your tween daughter starts asking to go by they/them, changing their name, and dressing like a boy. Yes, I am thinking of the other thread, but how many similar threads have we seen from concerned moms dealing with this with their girls? I historically have been a Dem. I voted for Biden and very reluctantly voted for McAuliffe based on social issues -- but I have to tell you that I am completely over the "pregnant people" language policing. There are real problems with pretending gender doesn't exist, but the left wing calls people bigoted or anti-trans if they question any of this. I think this is a much bigger concern for parents than they will admit.

This is something that’s been overlooked and significantly underestimated in every media analysis (likely by design) but yes, the regressive and extremely anti-woman gender politics being pushed by the Democratic Party was a HUGE factor in the election outcome.

There is growing vocal opposition from women Dem voters starting to see the harmful implications of this ideology everywhere they look from the Biden admin claiming that Rachel Levine is the “first female four-star general”, the horrific situation in women’s prisons, women’s civil rights antidiscrimination/equal opportunity being dismantled , the ACLU deliberately removing the word “woman” from RBG’s quote, referring to women as “birthing persons”, “bodies with vaginas”, attributing crimes commited by men to women

There are several women who should be hailed as the first female 4 star. That title does not belong to a man.

Honestly, why didn't CNN interview the TJ parents voting for Youngkin? Plenty of diverse Virginians voted for Youngkin.
But I know that doesn't fit the narrative.

Because it wouldn’t have mattered? Only 3% of VA voters are Asian. 73% are white and they targeted that demographic.

+ 1 the original impetus for Youngkin among local parents started last year with the dismantling of TJ and AAP, the very clear VADOE Secretary and staff attempts to dismantle tracks to upper level math and the plan to group all levels of math students in a grade in the same class up through grade 9 (IIRC) in the name of equity, the excessive contracts that the oppressively Democratic school board paid out regarding social emotional learning and privilege, and the narrow focus on school renaming rather than learning. Families across nationalities, backgrounds and political parties were against these actions.

Doesn’t fit the narrative so it wonMt get reported. Especially by CNN.

Who doesn’t have a diverse group?

CNN

CNN has an agenda, through and through. They want everyone to think it’s White women who support Republicans. It’s their narrative. They don’t want to talk about the plethora of women of other races (me included) who are turned off by the ridiculous rhetoric of the current Democratic Party.

THIS. Could they be any more obvious? There are SO MANY POC who voted for Youngkin. And the posters who claim a vote for Youngkin is a vote against "equality" just sound like morons. Not one person has been able to cough up any examples of Youngkin being "against equality." It is utterly absurd to even suggest it.

CNN has become so obviously biased that it can no longer be considered journalism, but rather: leftist propaganda.

So much of the media has become leftist propaganda, unfortunately. I know the right-wingers have Fox, but the media as a whole, definitely leans very far left.

I truly wish there were some less bias sources, but for now, so just read the news from both sides and assume the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

The irony that they blame the teachers and the teachers union but then want MORE from the teachers to catch their kids up. And then put in someone who wants to cut taxes but "invest" in Education mmmk.

"Youngkin has sourced much of his fiscal agenda from Stephen Moore, a writer and TV commentator who advised former President Donald Trump on his signature tax legislation, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Moore, a proponent of supply-side economics, also helped shape a set of deep tax cuts that former Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback implemented in 2013, promising a host of benefits for the state's economy. The cuts quickly devastated Kansas' budget, and the legislature overturned them in 2017."

Stop needing so much from the school system and expecting teachers to do all of the heavy lifting. Kids are only in their care for max 8 hours. There are 16 other hours in the day. If you want more help for your kids you need to vote for community based programs. The school can be a place that they are implemented but teaching staff are NOT the answer. Just like cops are not the answer to crisis calls for mental health. Those should be mainly supported by community based grassroots programs that have staff available and trained including SW and Psychiatrists. Cops need to focus on crime. Being mentally ill is not a crime.

Yup. I read AP News and Reuters. Plus, supplement with BBC, WSJ. I also listen a variety of podcasts but those aren't "news" - Freakonomics, NPR - planet money, here & now (which I find very balanced).

I don't watch TV news except for election/disaster coverage. Very rarely.
