[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Democrats really care about equity they will vote for McAuliffe.  He’s serious about taking heat off local school boards by requiring boundary changes to get the right amount of socioeconomic and racial integration in schools. They will have to comply or accreditation and state funding goes bye-bye.

He is even going to make sure that affordable housing gets built where there is none now to help with this.

It’s bold, actually historic and when you read his plan you see he is serious![/quote]

I assume this is intended to scare people into voting for Youngkin.

What we’ve already seen from the Democrats is more prosaic. They will talk about equity for years rather than figure out where money needs to be spent to relieve school overcrowding, and then the most privileged will make sure boundary changes leave their own schools with next to no poverty.  Or they’ll talk about the need for more affordable housing for years and then eventually some wealthy politicians will make sure that areas are upzoned for more multi-family with affordable housing set asides - again, not in their neighborhoods, but in someone else’s.

This is why some of is won’t support the Democrats now. It’s not that they have big plans; it’s that they prefer talk to action and the actions they do end up taking could not be any more hypocritical.  Might as well have Republicans who’ll get things done quicker without all the vain, meaningless SJW posturing.
