You are so full of it. Under current law, surgical abortions can only be performed by licensed medical professionals, and non-surgical abortions can only be prescribed by licensed medical professionals. Are you really trying to claim that Youngkin fully supports Virginia’s current abortion laws?

Hey I am an Arlington folk who voted for Biden and will vote for Youngkin. The pandemic revealed serious problems in Arlington schools. While it will be hard to make local changes, we hope Youngkin can make state wide changes that will dampen the crazies in the school board and the few who support them.

Two things

I have never seen so many signs for a Republican in Arlington, and I was born here 37 years ago

I have never seen so many positive comments on DCUM about a Republican

The tide may be returning to common sense.

I have noticed these things too and I so hope you're right.

His last minute attempt to tie a tragedy into anything to do with McAulife is disgusting. Dems will win, and they will continue to deliver for Virginians. Bye Felicia.

Then why continue using the fake and incorrect “ya’ll” in your posts. It only enhances your lack of credibility and desperation.

“Y’all” as a written term is often used by arrogant liberals when they see an opportunity to talk down to people they view as ignorant hicks and rednecks. Same mindset as the Democratic/LP folks who thought it would be a good idea to cosplay with tiki torches in front of the Youngkin campaign bus last Friday.

This seems to be working out really well for them.

Exactly this. Well said.

No it isn't. It's used to show informality, by both people who use it IRL and people who don't. It's not owned by liberals or conservatives.

DP. When spoken, sure. When deliberately written on a DCUM post, the PP is correct. It's so stupidly transparent.

POLL

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

A: "Most or some":
Asian: 70%
Black: 67%
Hispanic: 67%
White: 75%
Suburban Women: 69%

A: "Not really":
Asian: 21%
Black: 22%
Hispanic: 27%
White: 19%
Suburban Women: 20%

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

Garbage poll. Worthless.

Actually, this poll is explaining the state of Virginia right now. Education is the #1 issue for most of the electorate.

+1
The PP is seriously triggered because the poll doesn't say what she wants it to say. If it did, she'd call it 100% accurate.

PP made a valid point that this was a leading question. Are you you debating that?

It's a very straightforward question. How would you have worded it?

“Do you support parents walking into school libraries and yanking books”?

THAT was the context.

Except that wasn't what was asked, was it? The question was: "How much influence do you think parents of K-12 students should have over what schools teach?" Again - how would you have worded that question? Actually, never mind. I really don't care how you would have worded it.

I can’t tell if they are ignorant or blatantly lying.

You are not listening.... Look at the list of important issues to VA voters. EDUCATION..... Terry blew it at the debate and Youngkin campaign ran with it. Terry now playing catch up. Stop making this a Trump or abortion issue.

DP. People are allowed to talk about which ever election issues they want in this thread. I get that you don’t want people to discuss abortion because Youngkin’s views are highly unpopular and would make it difficult for him to get elected if they became well-known, but that doesn’t mean you have any authority whatsoever to stifle discussion of abortion and force people to only discuss issues where you believe Youngkin compares favorably.

Youngkin is an anti-abortion extremist who wants to ban the procedure in Virginia. Deal with it.

DP and I am ready to deal with it. I think we are at the point that we should sacrifice couple grown ass women who put themselves into this situation vs. sacrificing kids to suicides due to the schools shot down.

What about rape victims who will commit suicide when they’re forced to carry their rapist’s baby and then face the prospect of having to co-parent with him if he won’t give up his rights so she can put the baby up for adoption? Where do they rate in your scale of moral relativism?

How often does that happen? Sounds more like the fake date rapes.

This is how you justify denying abortion access to rape and incest victims? Some 12 year old child should have to go through pregnancy and child birth after being raped by her uncle so you can get a lower tax rate?

They sound like the hipsters in the coffee shop voting Trump.

As much as you, the Biden’s, Obama, Abrams, Harris, and random Dems try to make this election about Trump, it is about McAuliffe and Youngkin and what people in Virginia want.

Stop by a Virginia coffee shop today, and the only people talking about Trump will be the pink pussy cat hat boomers too old to evolve politically.

This. I can’t stand Trump (who is NOT ON THE BALLOT), but I’ll tell you what I can’t stand more: needing to waste money on private school because the navel gazing equity morons in charge can’t get out of their own way. Bye!!

Nothing wrong with bringing more equity into the schools. Were you always a racist or is this new behavior?

DP.
Equity? Nope.
Equality? Sure.

Equity: fairness or justice in the way people are treated

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/

DP. You’re opposed to notions of fairness and justice in schools? You’re really letting the racist flag fly here.

If this were the definition used by liberals, I could go for that. But, it's not.
This better describes equity as the liberals use it:

While the terms equity and equality may sound similar, the implementation of one versus the other can lead to dramatically different outcomes for marginalized people.

Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities. Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome.

https://onlinepublichealth.gwu.edu/resources/equity-vs-equality/

Working for "equal outcomes" is just a ridiculous notion. There will NEVER be equal outcomes because some people simply work harder and persevere to accomplish their goals. And, some people, given the resources and opportunities they need squander them or don't take full advantage of what they have been given.

It's so laughable that liberals are calling for equal outcomes. Sounds a lot like communism or socialism. No thanks.

Depends on how you define “outcome”. Obviously it’s impossible for every to get exactly the same job, for instance. As used in the context of equity in education, it’s generally considered to mean everyone is given the resources they need to fully access the curriculum and learn necessary skills and content to succeed as adults. People may choose to do different things with it, but no one’s outcome should be, for instance, that they are unable to pursue higher education because they were never given the opportunity and tools needed to learn to read beyond a fifth grade level.

The lefties (D's) can't seem to draw a line of modesty in the conversation. Indecency is how they wish to lead our country with their socialist policies.

I'd like to see excellence in schools.

In which schools?

Currently, inequalities and biases are creating additional hurdles for some kids and schools to achieve “excellence”.

Don’t you want ALL kids and schools to excel?

DP. Why don't you tell us which public schools you're referring to?

Hats no what’s happening. VDOE has explicitly clarified that nothing in the new math pathways would prevent a school system from offering advanced math. It just restructures the traditional math pathways to focus on more useful/practical areas of math for students who don’t pursue advanced math.
