[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If McAuliffe had won, we'd simply be staring down four more years of exactly the same nonsense:  watering down of curriculum, focusing on "anti-bias" training to the exclusion of actually focusing on ACADEMICS, and high taxes.  The voters have spoken.

I welcome Governor Youngkin and hopefully the return of common sense.[/quote]

Youngkin wasn’t running for school board, which is where most of those decisions get made.

Proving the point about “short on facts”[/quote]

:lol:   Speaking of "short on facts" - you seem unaware that the VA Dept. of Education reports to the Governor of VA.  The Superintendent of Public Instruction is appointed by the Governor.  All divisions of the VDOE fall under and report to the Superintendent - and the Governor of VA.  Including this one:
[b]
Department of Policy, Equity, and Communications[/b] – Holly Coy, Assistant Superintendent

[b]The mission of the Department of Policy, Equity, and Communications is to assist the Virginia Board of Education, the governor and the General Assembly in the development of legislation, regulations, and policies that promote student learning and achievement and to provide timely and accurate information about public education in the commonwealth.
