What funding is he planning to cut in order to pay for increased education funding while also slashing state tax revenues? I can’t find any explanation from the Youngkin campaign of how that math is supposed to work.

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.

Omg I love you. Let’s have a thanksgiving platter of common sense. Go Youngkin!

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

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!

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?

I’m shocked no one has an answer to this. One might almost think Youngkin supporters know he’s lying and simply don’t care.

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.

In our current system, the guy on the left paid for all of the boxes.

In our current system, the guy on the left was given two and a half boxes, got the guy on the right to finish building the third for him, and then takes credit for building all three.

Still, he gave away two boxes and our system is saying that he has not paid his fair share.

A) The stunt has been connected to Democrat operatives. Fact.

B) The stunt was set to make his rival look extremely bad and McAuliffe's poll numbers were sliding. Fact.

C) Public campaign oversight has shown that McAuliffe paid the Lincoln group during this campaign. Fact.

D) Several of the stunt instigators have been allegedly connected to the Democrat Party of Virginia.

E) National media, heavily left-leaning, refuse to investigate or identify the names or positions of the instigators even with clear pictures from multiple angles. Fact.

All roads lead to Terry.

Liar. It’s not “a fact”.

Twenty-four hours again you all were falsely accusing people. Some were obviously not the same people.

Two of those have already be legit identified. NOT D staffers.

Where is your apology?

Where’s the names and ID of the two? Post some proof.

Lauren Windsor and her co-worker (shown in video).
https://www.vice.com/en/article/3abzaj/lincoln-project-posed-as-charlottesville-white-supremacists-at-youngkin-gop-event

NOT Dem staffers.

From your own link:

The Lincoln Project acknowledged they were behind the stunt after VICE News identified one of the people dressed in the photo in front of Youngkin’s campaign bus as a low-level Democratic operative who has recently been working for Democratic sting operator Lauren Windsor’s The Undercurrent.

That operative who attended the Charlottesville rally, furthest to the right in the above photo, can be seen on-camera in their most recent sting.

Q: "How much influence do you think parents of K-12 students should have over what schools teach?"

A: "Most or some":

Hispanic: 67%
White: 75%
Suburban Women: 69%

Gee, that’s totally not a leading-question, is it?

Garbage poll. Worthless.

Its the reason Youngkin is winning. Its everything.

I don’t think Youngkin has a lock on education. I’m very liberal and also agree that parents should have a strong voice.

But the biggest issue right now for parents is keeping kids in school while minimizing COVID exposure for unvaccinated kids.

Youngkin is dangerous because he will get rid of the mask mandates. That’s what’s keeping our unvaccinated kids in school. If Youngkin tosses the mandates, we will see more serious outbreaks in schools. That is a fact. Which means more school closures.

Youngkin has embraces the loudest, most hysterical, and most extreme anti-mask parents. No way in hell do I want those parents setting policies for my kids.

Apparently you haven’t noticed that COVID is not one of the driving issues in this election. Maybe where you live, but education and economy are the top two issues for the electorate in Virginia.

COVID IS AN EDUCATION ISSUE. If there’s a serious outbreak, the schools will close. I don’t need the nut bag anti-mask parents running the show, because they will f#ck it up for the rest of us who are being careful.

Oh honey. It’s over. Did someone not tell you?

PP is one of those wackos who really wants the pandemic to last forever. She's probably the one who insisted people weren't showing up for Democrats' rallies because covid makes it just "too dangerous." Give me a break. Get your vaccinations, wear a mask if you feel you must, but don't insist the rest of the world has to take orders from you. Rational people realize that life goes on.

I've listen to him many times and at no point he embraced them. Contrary, he listened to all of the parents, quiet, silent, loud. He listened to what issues Virginians have. McAuliffe was deaf to his constituents.

Here’s Youngkin’s press release, siding with the anti-mask extremists. This is my major education issue, tons of other parents too.

https://www.youngkinforgovernor.com/post/glenn-releases-statement-on-northam-mcauliffe-mask-mandate-for-kids

Just so we're clear, here's exactly what Youngkin says on the topic. You can stop spinning your ridiculous lies.

"We must respect parents’ right to decide what is best for their own children. If parents, teachers, and children want to wear a mask, they absolutely should do that, but there should not be a statewide school mask mandate."

Thank God for Youngkin sanity on this issue.

Yes!

Enough mask theater. Wear one if you want to - no one's stopping you! Wrap up in bubble wrap if you'd like. If Youngkin wins, I would be thrilled if he would end the school mask mandate starting immediately.

It’s my right to decide my children should only be in classrooms with vaccinated teachers and other students who are masked (and vaccinated if they’re old enough)? Cool, sign me up. Disease vectors can go sit in a different classroom.

Anonymous wrote:My theory: the anti CRT & trans student stuff really went into overdrive to distract from the fact that Youngkin would remove the mask mandates in schools. He had to change the narrative on education.

Getting rid of masks without having a large portion of the school vaccinated will create chaos. Parents better remember that.

Um... large portions of school populations are *already* vaccinated - high school. And younger students will be soon. What a relief to not need masks anymore.

Totally a credible poll

Your efforts to sound clever are falling flat. Do better or just take a seat. The NYT often cites Roanoke College Polls, which are actually The Institute for Policy and Opinion Research. Educate yourself.

You're right. My kid goes to a non religious private school in another country (we are from DC but husband is on a temp assignment) and he has a "values" class once a week. It's great actually- they teach basics like honesty, respect, responsibility, perseverance, flexibility, empathy, etc, ALL without some stupid "Progressive" lens that teaches kids to hate each other.

You don't have to have a "values" class to teach those things. They should be modeled and taught on a daily basis. Start with the Golden Rule--treat others as you want to be treated. Many picture books have great morals in them without bringing in racial issues. Then, if racial issues come up, you have a foundation upon which to build with the kids that go back to values. To have people get along, you must start with shared experiences and, hopefully, shared values. But, in order to help kids have values, you must have examples. This "anti-racism" push is harmful. It is racism, pure and simple.

Completely agree. My kids have a big, diverse group of friends. All of them are disgusted at this attempt to divide by invoking race constantly.

Labeling anti-racism as racist is the number one indicator of a racist.

Run along, nitwit. People are finally on to you and your despicable tactics. Don't like racism? Don't be racist. Done. No need to talk ad nauseum about it.
