He will cut Equity Officers and Directors, Assistant Vice Principals for Kindness, Vice Principals for Outreach to the Trans Community, Social Workers for Outreach to the Gay Community, Assistant Teacher's Union Reps for Outreach to the Questioning Community, and the Special Assistant for scheduling three hours of instruction instead of eight hours.

40.

Well, that explains the terrible early vote numbers. No wonder desperation is setting in.

Just looked it up: In 2020, the total number of votes cast for Biden in Norfolk was 64,440. This number includes early and Election Day votes together.

"Youngkin’s plan for the federal relief money also includes $1.2 billion to fund school choice initiatives."

Youngkin has not provided any specifics that I am aware of, probably because when you actually get into the specifics of school choice, all of the specific options tend to be pretty unpopular. School choice sounds nice until you realize your child could be left out of the “choice” in favor of other students.

Again: quit complaining because you're too lazy to actually read the specifics clearly laid out on his website. Not a good look.

Cut Costs For Virginians
The cost of living is rising for Virginians, and people are leaving the Commonwealth to look for jobs and start lives elsewhere. Glenn will tackle the rising cost of living and cut costs for Virginians by:

Eliminating Virginia’s Grocery Tax & Suspending the Recent Gas Tax Hike for 12 Months
Providing a One Time Tax Rebate of $600 for Joint Filers and $300 for Individuals
Ending Runaway Property Taxes by Requiring Voter Approval for Increases
Cutting Income Taxes by Doubling the Standard Deduction & Cutting Taxes on Veteran Retirement Pay

And don’t forget ignoring the climate crisis, banning reproductive freedoms, doing nothing to reduce the number of guns, ending any attempt at restorative justice, leaving LGBTQ+ people open to discrimination, and an open season on immigrants.

Yee Haw!!!! It’s a republican wet dream! Vote for the Vulture Capitalist!

Who said anything about inequality? PP said "equity."
And, as the Democrats have hounded for the past year - equity does not mean equality.

We don't need "equity." We need equality.

Says the person on the left.

The biggest blunder was thinking that folks who’ve been dealing with lockdowns for 18 months really wanted to hear Debbie Downer dreck for months, aimed at someone whose novelty, cheery disposition, and inclusivity makes those comparisons particularly inept.

Well said.

You know the governor can’t do those things, right? That is controlled at the local level.

Democrats vote early. Only repugs think they have to show up on Election Day. That’s why the crowds are small. Most Dems have already voted. Why go to see an event after you already voted?

Such a dumb thing to say.

Actually he can do the things he listed. As for the hilarious post, hopefully a Y win would signal to the absolute morons in charge of local matters that the time for extreme dumb dumb identity politics is over. Follow MLK - evaluate people on the content of their character!

Ha ha.

The reason McAuliffe is down there is because his early vote numbers are absolutely terrible. If you were smart, you’d know how to find that information.

Cite the statutes and regulations that would allow the governor to force local school systems to fire everyone in these types of positions.

That aside, Youngkin has said he will increase school funding, but what pp is describing is maintaining school fund while dictating allocation. Are you saying Youngkin is lying about increasing education funding?

The only racists comments posted on this forum tonight have come from McAuliffe supporters.
