[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The concern I have about Youngkin is that too many voters are too stupid to realize how crazy and craven he is.  I'm really worried that he's going to win.[/quote]

Terry McAuliffe isn’t doing himself any favors when he says things like parents shouldn’t control what their children are being taught in school.   I’m honestly not happy with either candidate and don’t know what to do on voting day.  They’re both appalling.  [/quote]

But parents shouldn't. If you only want your child taught in school what you want your child taught in school, then you need to homeschool. Should flat-earther parents control what their children are taught in public school? How about creationist parents? How about parents who want their children to be taught a curriculum that includes the 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory?[/quote]

Ideally I would like actual education experts deciding what is taught - not a partisan school board. Ugh. [/quote]
The school board doesn’t decide the curriculum.[/quote]

I would listen if you feel like telling my how it is selected. I’m in FCPS. [/quote]

I’m responding to my own question that I don’t think anyone has answered - I think because I was right in the first place. From an NYT article on the VA Gov election:
“ Mr. McAuliffe shot back that he did not believe “parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” In the weeks since, he’s stood by those remarks, saying that the state Board of Education and local school boards should determine what is taught in the classroom.”[/quote]

Terry completely aligned with the incompetent school boards that have done so much to destroy the reputations of local public school systems.  No surprise he is so out of touch, since he sent his kids to expensive privates and a segregated public school. [/quote]
