[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's going to run for President, so he's applying for the job he wants and quiet quitting the job he has. He is not focused whatsoever on Virginia state agendas unless they also are national spotlight agendas.

He did run a spectacular gubernatorial campaign compared to McAullife. But once he won that race, his eyes got wider and he is now laser focused on becoming the Republican nominee in 2024. So now he will bend and pivot to whatever will get him that nom. Virginia got screwed by both sides: 1) by the left for shoving down our throat's Terry McAullife as the savior for the democratic nominee when there were other well qualified candidates, and 2) by the moderates who claimed Youngkin was his own brand, was a moderate and would focus on Virginia issues.  McAullife handed Youngkin the election in the debate when he said that parents should not be involved in their children's public school education. Politico did a 15 min podcast re this campaign, that moment and how Youngkin won. It's worth listening to because I am sure he's got the same people working on this next campaign.[/quote]

The sad thing is McAuliffe was 100% correct about parents’ role in public education. There already exist myriad ways to have input — but they absolutely do not get to dictate what happens in the actual classroom or schools.[/quote]
This would be a better message if schools were not undreperforming academically. That is traditionally the key criteria where schools do get taken over and rightfully so.[/quote]

Schools “get taken over”?

American Taliban wet dream.

The only school district in the DMV that is not run by an elected BOE is DCPS. I guess Mayor Bowser is part of the “American Taliban”?

The reality is that it is a lot harder to have this kind of swagger when schools are underperforming academically. Don’t want to give these people a toe-hold on school cultural issue? Improve educational performance.[/quote]

Schools are working it. GOP isn't making it any easier with manufactured school crises.

American Taliban wants to send us back 50-100 years. They only want white, elite to get a good education.
