They completely gutted this law. It’s basically meaningless in this form. Anti-reform advocates should be absolutely livid that this is the bill that’s going to Youngkin’s desk without the language regarding proxy discrimination and traditional academic factors.[/quote]

This is really upsetting. You're right - if this is the bill that passes Youngkin will not have fulfilled his promise to us.[/quote]

I'm unhappy about this too[/quote]

That Chap Peterson did it slimy one.[/quote]
