If you have not been following the state-wide VMPI debate, you should.

And Terry would have implemented the plan to follow in NYC footsteps in eliminating all accelerated / AAP programs in VA.

What insanity do you see in school policy? The schools are fine, great even. Virginia has a very strong public school system.

This person is most definitely NOT a centrist. He's right-wing. Not extreme right, but solidly to the right. Just acknowledge this, PP. It's OK to like right-wing politicians. It's not OK to lie.

DP. Whether he's a centrist or "solidly to the right" does not concern me at all. The PP is correct. He will appoint people with common sense to the VDOE - something that has been sorely lacking for some time. All the money and time that has been wasted on an "equity lens" and "anti-bias" needs to be funneled into academics. Normal, rational people of ALL political stripes - sorry, "stakeholders - have had it with the far-left's crazy policies.

I will fight that tooth and nail. That isn’t centrism. It’s white nationalism. We need to do a better job of teaching our kids about systemic racism and rooting out bias and hatred.

He will run for Senate after his term ends. Mark my words and be afraid.

If you want to start using fighting rhetoric, be prepared to walk that walk because many of us will back Youngkin up to the hilt if he puts a stop to all the race-based BS that pits groups against each other in the name of "anti-bias" activism.

And you know this how? It's just as likely that he appoints pro charter activists who just want to gut public education

You mean the GOP manufactured issue?

Cuz that isn't happening anywhere in VA public schools.

Ah, well I see the extremists on the left working hard to destroy America. I mean, they’re already making progress in that respect and have been doing so for the past 10 years.

DP. Absolutely agree. If he can remove this divisive nonsense from public schools, I will consider him a success.

PP here. He's been very open about wanting to create new charter schools in VA. I fully support that. He's also been very open about fully funding public schools, including special education. I fully support that as well. But continue with your doomsday scenario. The only people buying it (and pushing it) are far-left extremists.

DP. Why must this be repeated over and over for you people? Are you actually going to continue to deny this exists in FCPS? I look forward to your usual denials, even in the face of concrete evidence:

Teaching Tolerance’s Social Justice Standards are a set of

prejudice reduction and collective action.

Critical Practices for Anti-bias Education offers practical
strategies for accomplishing academic and social-emotional

advice for implementing culturally responsive pedagogy and

The take is: Youngkin may have backed away from Trump, but it's the billionaires and elites that run the GOP that are setting up the plan to steal the 2024 election, not Trump. It's the party that's designing gerrymanders to assure white Christian authoritarian minority rule. And the guy made the case that Youngkin embraced all that -- Youngkin took the money from Koch and Heritage billionaires and the GOP corporate interests and the gun companies and fossil fuel companies.

I am not sure if Youngkin himself is an authoritarian. To me he seems more like a dim, born-advantaged private equity guy who might not fully know what the GOP stands for today.
I don't fully see voting for Youngkin as embracing authoritarianism and helping to further climate disaster that will impact our kids future.

My kids will have the chance to get an abortion in VA or MD or another blue state.
Is Youngkin really a step to taking that away?

The most alarming thing about your post is “my kids will have a chance to get an abortion in VA or MD...”
You are already prjebyiing that your kids will need abortions.”

Sad.

It has to be repeated again and again because dumb a$$es keep posting dumb sh1t again and again.

AGAIN, that doesn’t “pit groups against each other”.
