It’s already starting Holmes MS is removing general Ed and moving everyone to Honors. They are redefining what honors classes are. I guess it’s easier to remove general Ed and call it honors instead of removing honors. https://msg.schoolmessenger.com/m/getdocument.php?s=MnuwQN1yLr0&mal=0bc4574062b0e966ac1ce8e6f14f3d7a1a1cf979d3a17c1335fd76a0fba8006f&p=

This doesn’t have anything to do with VMPI. You are posting this ridiculous theory on multiple threads. Do you get paid by the post?

No way in hell would I vote for a Republican who buys into the big lie and makes “voter integrity” his major platform. Nor do I want an “audit” of an election done when there was no fraud.

They held their freaking convention at Liberty University.

Rs supporting education? Such a joke.

Hard pass.

I agree. I can’t believe these people take education seriously when they choose to meet at a diploma mill that teaches creation science and sucks up federal student loan dollars. There are plenty of other universities in the state, including private conservative ones, that are not Liberty. If NOVA Democrats band together on this and pound McAuliffe, he’ll listen. He’s experienced enough to know how things work. Younkin will happily take your votes and let NOVA twist in the wind.

You do realize that McAullife's education platform's number one priority is equity?

The second is making sure kids in Virginia are all using laptops at school.

Citation, please.
I see nothing wrong with making equity a priority. Access to quality preschool, attracting the best teachers, and hiring more support staff is awesome. Offering advanced coursework for the students who qualify at all schools is great. I also think it's hugely important to ensure every single student and their families have access to reliable broadband and a computer to be used for school purposes.

Not saying there was fraud, but how would you know without doing an audit? Some of the states got pretty loose with their voting because of Covid.

When Del. Jason Miyares, a former prosecutor and son of a Cuban immigrant, defeated a more right-wing challenger to become the Virginia GOP’s nominee for attorney general, Democrats wasted no time labeling him a “right-wing extremist.”

The next day, when wealthy businessman Glenn Youngkin won the Republican nomination for governor in a field that included polarizing, devotedly pro-Trump Sen. Amanda Chase, the Democratic Party of Virginia called Youngkin a “pro-Trump extremist.”

And when former Del. Winsome Sears, a Marine veteran and the first Black woman ever elected to the House of Delegates as a Republican, defeated more mainstream opponents to become the GOP’s pick for lieutenant governor, Democrats called her a fringe character and “the most radical far-right Republican candidate in the race.”

Look at how well the Virginia GOP does at avoiding the nasty stigma of extremism. They go out of their way to nominate "centrist" anti-Trump candidates, and still they are labeled pro-Trump radical extremists. 😂😂😂😂😂

Only a complete fool would vote for these fools.

Youngkin was endorsed by Trump. He admitted that Biden won the presidential election only after his nomination. Refusing to admit reality in order to get the nomination isn't centrist. It's the opposite.

Youngkin is neither the most pro-Trump nor the most anti-Trump Republican. Ergo, a centrist. Which doesn't matter, because every Republican, no matter how moderate, gets tarred a "far-right extremist ultra-conservative" before the election. (See: Romney, Mitt, 2012 campaign of)

Republicans think they need to be more like the Democrats in order to win elections. This turns off their base, and cannot win any independents (if they want Democrat policy enacted, they'll vote for a real Democrat not some RINO). The Republicans think they can win without their base - or that they can trick their rube base into voting for them, and then ignore them after the election. That game is just about played out though, as even the rube Republicans can only be fooled so many times before they wake up. Truly they are the Stupid Party! The best thing they can do is go away forever.

Go to his website and click on his education plan.

It is all right there for anyone to read.

Equity is his #1 priority in education.

The 2nd thing listed is getting all kids in Virginia on laptops.

Equity for the dems means removing advanced classes because "math is hard"

Nonsense, but keep telling yourself that. Plenty of us vote D and will absolutely call out any candidate who says they support removing advanced math classes. This seems to be the latest issue for the #openfcps crowd to latch onto, once they realized most parents didn’t care that a handful of rich white kids couldn’t hack it with distance learning.

Oh no. The Open FCPS people were great. And yes, they pushed reopening earlier than it otherwise would have happened.

I hope Open FCPS takes up detracking and the rest of the "equity" stuff.

Sucking up federal loan dollars is what all universities do. Why do you think tuition has risen so much after the last 30 years, and will go up even more if they can get the Feds to pay the tuition directly.

Plus a lot of the universities are just football programs that teach some classes on the side.
