Youngkin plans to raise teacher pay, raise public school funding and focus money and resources into special ed, particularly learning loss from being kept out of school for 18 months and given zero instruction in the case of many special ed kids.

People are done listening to the left's scare tactics.

Cmon man. You're telling me the Trumpy Republican wants to increase public school funding? I will eat my shoe if there's a Republican alive who is going to increase public school funding, over what a Dem wants to do.

A lot of teachers in your school will lose their jobs when Youngkin puts vouchers in place and people flock to private schools.

Lefties - finger warriors came out today on DCUM cleaning up their boss's mess today. We have seen all the actions by NOVA school boards members. If someone cares about the standards of education, then you would never again vote for the lefties = democrats.

Why would I want a private equity guy in charge of public schools?

Why would you want someone like McAuliffe? He sent his kids to Potomac School--although one may have gone to Langley.

He never attended public schools at all. Catholic schools all the way through college and graduate school.

Not sure about Youngkin. He went to one of those private schools that push basketball. I'm guessing his kids went to private school, as well, but I couldn't easily find it.

Youngkin is listening to parents, though. McAuliffe is listening to Teachers' Unions.

Pick one.

Teacher here again. This is a common talking point and not true. Private schools in the area have always had long wait lists. There are not a large amount of openings for a mass exodus from public schools. What could happen in an ideal world? More privates and charters could open, creating competition and forcing public schools to turn attention back to academics. This is a pie in the sky dream.

None of us are worried about jobs. There is a huge teacher shortage everywhere. Most public schools still have open positions. That tells you something about the current state of schools. If more schools open, that means even more jobs.

An ideal world like DCPS? They have lots of charters and they have school choice with their lottery system. They also have very high teacher pay.

Vouchers and school choice sound great on paper. In reality, they aren't good for students or academics.

I pay attention to the ridiculous policies that have been pushed by the Virginia parties over the years, and I’m not seeing the party of the vaginal probe becoming more statesmanlike or mature, but instead doubling down on guns, misogyny, and Trump. McAuliffe may be a Democratic Clintonist hack, but he’ll veto all the dumb crap out of Richmond. Virginia also got better run overall during his las administration.

I can’t believe any of you base your voting decisions on PR stunts and manufactured outrage. I find it particularly ironic all the people who are clutching their pearls over a campaign ad but at the same time supported and voted for Trump - the biggest corrupt sleazeball ever.

I believe not only in checks-and-balances but also honesty and Youngkin is far more honest than McAuliffe who will use all the 'Clintonist' attacks he perfected at the helm of both Clinton campaigns to worm his way out of accepting responsibility for anything -- including his own party operatives smearing an opponent.

Aside from that, you were perfectly happy to see 'dumb crap out of Richmond' become policy when all Virginia school boards were overridden and forced to hold in-person classes regardless of case rates.

So stop with the McAuliffe hypocrisy.

You’re a Youngkin supporter who wants to close down schools again? That’s not going to work out the way you think it will.

Nope. I'm a Youngkin supporter who knows he would never allow schools to close down the way the Democrat Governor of Virginia - Northam - or his wannabee successor McAuliffe - did and still would.

+1000. Youngkin would have handled Covid in the schools like DeSantis did in FL- schools open, vulnerable protected snd everyone much, much better off. If you know anyone in Florida with kids in school ask them how happy they are that their kids were not subjected to the madness.

Just like much of Europe did, schools open, no masks for kids under 12.

Many schools in Europe closed too.

My theory: Terry's campaign staff who took part in this idiotic stunt really thought they'd get away with it. When they didn't, Terry begged The Lincoln Project to step in, do damage control, and make it look like this was all planned, nothing shady going on, we were just making a "point." Ha. This is so funny, I really can't even believe the stupidity of this crew.

If you’ve ever paid attention to the Lincoln Project, you would know this stunt is right up their alley. It’s far more credible that this was an LP plan than a TM one.

Lincoln Project has better things to do than hire college students to run psy ops stunts in the rain for a failing gubernatorial campaign.

+1
That's why I think these dopes thought they'd get away with it and when they didn't, Terry called TLP in a panic and asked them to take the fall. Pretend like it was all "planned" by them. What an entertaining evening.

I would bet my house that’s exactly what happened

Thank you for caring about VA kids. What foolish but we’ll-intentioned democrats are doing to schools is not ok!
