[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I went to Google to find out what Youngkin did or said that made these students so upset. 
TLDR I got was 
1. peaceful protest is OK but no encampments because they can intimidate students and interfere with the normal operations of a university.
2. He also did not support forcing students to take a particular racial literacy class in order to graduate.

[b]As a parent who will in a couple of years very likely be paying lots (to us) of tuition to a VA public, it seems reasonable to me.[/b] And I am saying this as someone very critical of Israel’s response in Gaza. I also don’t think forcing students to take a such a class is going to make anything better, just as DEI hasn’t really made anything better in agencies and corporations.

Dems need to realize that if they lose the moderates, the only people going to college will be rich kids, because normal Americans are not going to support a system where they are footing the bill for nonsense and that is the way they will vote.[/quote]

That's fine, then you don't have to participate in protests against Youngkin.

If you're flinging the term "DEI" around like this in a post, you are likely not a moderate.[/quote]
