[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The irony that they blame the teachers and the teachers union but then want MORE from the teachers to catch their kids up. And then put in someone who wants to cut taxes but "invest" in Education mmmk.

"Youngkin has sourced much of his fiscal agenda from Stephen Moore, a[u] writer and TV commentator [/u]who advised former President Donald Trump on his signature tax legislation, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Moore, a proponent of supply-side economics, also helped shape a set of deep tax cuts that former Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback implemented in 2013, promising a host of benefits for the state's economy. The cuts quickly devastated Kansas' budget, and the legislature overturned them in 2017."

The guy behind the Kansas tax cuts? That's scary.  :shock:

And the cognitive dissonance is insane.

They want the governor to micromanage school districts and implement MORE regulations but... also don't want mandates.

McAuliffe was going to micromanage school boundaries and local zoning.

If Youngkin merely sets powers back to February 2020 it’s a win for local parental freedom influence.[/quote]

Yep.  From Terry's website.  He might as well skip all the words and just say he would advocate busing:

Address Modern-Day Segregation in our Schools. While we have worked hard to 
improve equitable access to education in Virginia, the numbers are clear and racial 
segregation in our schools is getting worse not better. In fact, nearly 17% of Black 
students in Virginia attended schools where at least 90% of their classmates were 
students of color in 2018-2019, a 4% increase from 2003-2004.6 Students of color are 
also more likely to attend schools with high poverty rates and with little access to 
challenging coursework [b]We must tackle this issue head on by examining the factors 
leading to segregation and aggressively implement policies that will promote integration. [/b]
That includes creating a school integration officer within the Virginia Department of 
Education, reviewing how diversity factors into school accreditation standards, 
incentivizing localities to implement integration strategies and working with developers 
to drastically improve access to affordable housing so that families can locate in areas 
with high-performing schools.[/quote]
