And Terry would fire them for not being vaccinated.

It is school, just not the CRT stuff or vaccine or mask mandates. They’re angry that schools stayed closed for as long as they did and that the Democrats seemed dismissive of parents’ concerns about the resulting disruption and learning loss. I certainly understand their concerns but they do come off a bit self centered… like all that matters is them and their family, not the healthcare workers or teachers or the medically vulnerable. I think Democrats’ biggest mistake wasn’t necessarily closing schools, but for not showing more concern about the fallout now. Terry couldn’t even manage to fake it. He just didn’t connect with suburban women as much as he needed to.

School closures are going to come back to haunt Democrats across the country.

"Youngkin has sourced much of his fiscal agenda from Stephen Moore, a writer and TV commentator who advised former President Donald Trump on his signature tax legislation, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Moore, a proponent of supply-side economics, also helped shape a set of deep tax cuts that former Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback implemented in 2013, promising a host of benefits for the state's economy. The cuts quickly devastated Kansas' budget, and the legislature overturned them in 2017."

The guy behind the Kansas tax cuts? That's scary.

And the cognitive dissonance is insane.

They want the governor to micromanage school districts and implement MORE regulations but... also don't want mandates.

McAuliffe was going to micromanage school boundaries and local zoning.

If Youngkin merely sets powers back to February 2020 it’s a win for local parental freedom influence.

So you don't want Youngkin to micromanage? Make up your mind.

You don’t get it do you? We voted for Youngkin because he is for parents, not the government, leading the schools

What do you think that means? What is actually going to change if "parents are leading the schools"? How specifically will that work?

Translation: When hundreds of parents protest things like CRT in various ways - everything from simple emails to teachers/ principals complaining about curriculum, to showing up a school board meetings in an organized fashion - we will be listened to. Thankfully. These are community schools and should reflect the values of the community.

Nah - I just know when to listen to the experts - unlike the FCPS school board - when the health dept. approved of the hybrid plan to open in Summer 2020.
But I do have particular educational expertise as well, haha.
