[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not PP but having different opinions doesn’t mean someone is out of touch, it means they do not agree with you.  I’m not happy with the SB either but I think right wingers completely astroturfed social media-including this forum-and convinced parents Democrats alone are responsible for the fall of education.  Ignoring the changing demographics that contribute to local systems being overwhelmed. Ignoring that Republican led states often completely undermine public education and do not have good outcomes.  Ignoring that CRT is not a thing.  And that outsiders were brought in to stir crap up.  That charter schools and vouchers have failed miserably in most cases bc they are not held to any standards.  
You can call me names, be patronizing, etc, I still do not agree with you PPs.  And yes, I am paying attention.  I will vote for SB who are focused on academics in 2023. But this? Sticking it to the Dems when there is so much more at stake? Nah. [/quote]

Democrats alone run the fcps school board, the lcps school board, the aps school board, the fcc school board, the arps school hoard and the Virginia Departmemt of Ed and have for many years.

So yes, without exception, the democratic party owns all of the school issues in northern Virginia.[/quote]

And none of that changed by electing Youngkin.

Congrats on accomplishing nothing.

Virginia Department of Ed will change almost immediately after his inauguration.

He is going to be firing the current appointees and replacing them with professionals who value education,  rigor and excellence over indoctrination, low standards and racism.

Just think, once Youngkin gets his policies in place, our teachers can return to using their planning days on things like literacy and math skills, instead of spending all their training hours on Ibrahim X and white privilege. [/quote]

Please show me where in the SOLs there is direction to teach about Ibrahim X and white privilege? Remember, we criticize teachers for teaching to the test remember — that was the last popular parent agitation, anyway. So it should be easy for you to cite precisely where in the SOLs the CRT stuff is taught. [/quote]

This is why thte Ds lost.  Linked either in this thread or another but this is it happening right here.

"Alternatively, Democrats could become more willing to disavow curricular content that is incendiary or misguided. Exercises that ask elementary-school students to rate themselves on a scale of privilege or presentations that imply that Black people are somehow less interested in the written word may be relatively rare. But voters who worry about them are much more likely to be reassured by politicians who are willing to condemn them than by those who pretend they don’t exist. Doing so is both right and expedient."

You Can’t Win Elections by Telling Voters Their Concerns Are Imaginary
Virginia is sending Democrats a warning: They’ve lost control of the narrative about education.
