Ugh ignorance. 99.9 percent of private schools are not for profit.

Tomato, tomahto. The non-profit sector is hugely profitable and scandalously undertaxed.

Private schools are not charitable or benevolent. Please don't throw out "not for profit" as if that means they're inherently virtuous. They aren't.

Not at all a hypocrite. Those schools provide an incredible education. We don't know what he said to administrators. Either way, he wasn't in a position to change the CRT teachings at his kids schools. He is now for Virginia public school and he is making good on campaign promises.

Except, as we all know, CRT isn't taught in Virginia public schools. Which is a damn shame, because the hysteria over the phantom menace is proof point 1 why it really should be.

What percentage of charter schools are not for profit?

Almost all of them

And no one is teaching CRT in VA.

Did you read the article? He was on the board that approved that curriculum for one of the schools.

Anti racism isn’t necessarily CRT.

Fazed sorry, I always make that mistake.

I don't suppor Youngkin, however,
I don't think the issue for most voters is what his kids did or did not receive.
I think they don't want their kids to be forced to learn CRT, or to be forced to mask, or to be forced into school closures.

Youngkin can raise his kids with whatever approaches he is comfortable with.

Just saying I don't think this is the smoking gun you thought it was.

I think you're assigning more competence to him than he deserves.

From where i sit, he's coming across like a bumbling idiot in his first two weeks as a direct result of the advice he's getting from the people he surrounded himself with, which includes a merry band of rejects from the failed Trump administration. This is why he's aligned with people who think children should be taught about the time Abraham Lincoln debated Frederick Douglass, why he's picking fights about masks with northern Virginia constituencies who rejected him and setting up a Stasi for people to report on teachers (that is already being bombarded by TikTok trolls with ridiculous trolling).

He wanted to be a governor. He likes being in charge. This was an ego project -- he isn't so loaded that he can blast himself into space so he thought he'd run for office instead. He never had a real agenda, sinister or otherwise. He sort of got lucky with the McAuliffe truth about how parents don't and shouldn't control education because the way McAuliffe said it was so clumsy and came across as a gaffe.

His inexperience is to be expected. I just didn't expect he'd be like a bull in a China shop so soon and reveal himself as the fool he obviously is.

If course he is. Youngkin isn’t trying to improve public education, he’s trying to drive it into the ground to justify allowing for-profit schools that enrich his friends, and give his own kids more advantages by dumbing down their competition.
