[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youngkin is ultimately not going to be able to do much about local school choices nor will he care. He used CRT as bait for suburban white women and it worked but he will otherwise completely ignore education. [/quote]

This.

Any changes that could be made wouldn't be implemented for years.

Nothing is going to change.

Instead of believing hot talking points, more people should have researched his power to effect these changes and how the changes they want actually come about.

Give it a read.

[quote]To grant parents radically increased say in what or how teachers teach, Youngkin would have to overhaul the structure of American public-school education in Virginia, which is now determined by state standards and elected school boards that represent all residents of a district, not just parents. Moreover, Governor-elect Youngkin will face an uncooperative state Senate, where Democrats still have control.[/quote]

[quote]But Jack Schneider, associate professor of education at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, said Youngkin can do very little to increase parental control over school curriculums. The way public education has long functioned in America, he said, is that schools are not directly accountable to parents but are instead governed by democratically elected school boards.

School board members are meant to represent every county resident, whose tax dollars fund the public school system, Schneider said, not just those with children. And the boards have wide latitude to determine what children learn in schools, although they must abide by statewide standards of learning in Virginia.[/quote]

The only schools he can directly change are the Governor's schools. [/quote]
