He did run a spectacular gubernatorial campaign compared to McAullife. But once he won that race, his eyes got wider and he is now laser focused on becoming the Republican nominee in 2024. So now he will bend and pivot to whatever will get him that nom. Virginia got screwed by both sides: 1) by the left for shoving down our throat's Terry McAullife as the savior for the democratic nominee when there were other well qualified candidates, and 2) by the moderates who claimed Youngkin was his own brand, was a moderate and would focus on Virginia issues. McAullife handed Youngkin the election in the debate when he said that parents should not be involved in their children's public school education. Politico did a 15 min podcast re this campaign, that moment and how Youngkin won. It's worth listening to because I am sure he's got the same people working on this next campaign.

The sad thing is McAuliffe was 100% correct about parents’ role in public education. There already exist myriad ways to have input — but they absolutely do not get to dictate what happens in the actual classroom or schools.

Why can't parents have a larger role in what happens in public school classrooms? Who gets to decide?

How is it fair that the rich can spend tens of thousands of dollars per year on private school tuition and be treated as a partner with the school on their child's education, but parents who can't afford to be treated like high end consumers are denied substantive input into their child's education?

Because parents are stupid.

Seriously I don't want religious nut jobs deciding what my kids read or learn.

How many parents can teach bio, chem, calculus etc ....

This is so dumb honestly people wake the hell up. You want to give them a religious and moral education go to private school but stay the hell out of public schools idiots.

The problem with what you are saying here is that the average student is not learning biology, chemistry or calculus. They are barely learning anything at all.

I can’t hear you — your TV is too loud. And it’s stuck on F*X.

This would be a better message if schools were not undreperforming academically. That is traditionally the key criteria where schools do get taken over and rightfully so.

Schools “get taken over”?

American Taliban wet dream.

The only school district in the DMV that is not run by an elected BOE is DCPS. I guess Mayor Bowser is part of the “American Taliban”?

The reality is that it is a lot harder to have this kind of swagger when schools are underperforming academically. Don’t want to give these people a toe-hold on school cultural issue? Improve educational performance.

Schools are working it. GOP isn't making it any easier with manufactured school crises.

American Taliban wants to send us back 50-100 years. They only want white, elite to get a good education.

Trump trashes his name because it sounds somewhat Asian?

Hopefully that's a wake-up call to those who think the GOP cares about Asian Americans.

Under Ralph Northam's DOE which would have been ratified by Terry McAuliffe, kids learning calculus would have been impossible without outside enrichment.
They would have eliminated tracking in the name of equity and put default math classes as prealgebra/algebra/geometry with some algebra 2 in 8th-10th grade with no room for getting in precalc and the rest of algebra 2 by 12th grade. This is a huge step down from where lots of kids have calculus by 11th grade.
All this was decided by the experts who made equity a primary concern, and didn't want too many kids of certain races jumping ahead because then other races would be left behind.
Everyone in the same classroom. When parents(religious nut jobs as you call them) complained, they pretended before the election that school districts would still be able to have honors classes and acceleration.
The 'religious nut jobs' saw through that and voted for Youngkin who then cancelled VMPI and fired the state board.

Oh, please. Trump is NOT the GOP. The vast majority of Republicans want him to go away. Time to move on.

And btw - how soon you forget the posts by liberals here mocking Hung Cap’s name. Maybe fix the problems in your own party before smugly casting stones.

I followed this issue and there was some backtracking even before election time rolled around but generally yes, they were trying to move to a Math curriculum that basically accounted for the lowest performing student in each grade with lots of repetition built in believing it would help with learning loss from summer. It reminded me a lot of the math curriculum called Everyday Math. It was a nice idea in theory but in practice it sucked and didn't really work for any students.

Ahhh yes. The parents, largely products of public education, are too stupid to have substantive input into their children's public school curriculum.

You and your ilk do not deserve control over our children's education.

The man flew all over the country campaigning for Republican extremists and doesn’t do any work here. He makes up culture war issues and tries to divide people, just like Trump and DeSantis.

And he sent Nancy Pelosi a note of apology privately rather than apologize to her in public. A real profile in courage right there.

but it's been touted on CNN's homepage all day. I hate the guy, but I'm afraid this was rather brilliant.

And he didn’t do it until after the election. The profile in courage take is the correct one.

I read he sent it November 1. Why it is only being reported now who knows?

Because he leaked it once the election was over, once he saw “which way the wind was blowing” e.g. people aren’t interested in Trumpy politics.
