If it's good enough for his kids, it should be good enough for public school kids.

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.

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 support Youngkin and this is EXACTLY how I feel.

I wrote that. I am a lifelong Dem. But I comprehend what his voters said in post election interviews.

Except, Youngkin didn't win because of CRT or anti-masking. He won because Asian communities freaked out that "equity" meant an erosion of their perceived advantage because it would dumb down accelerated math.

Youngkin LOST in Loudoun by a wide margin. It was narrower than recent elections for Democrats, but it was still a resounding defeat.

Elsewhere in the country where CRT and masks were literally on the ballot in November, candidates professing those hardline positions were rejected by wide margins.

Between Youngkin's terribly incompetent first week, his move on Roe and other extreme positions that are directly at odds with the values of typical voters, it's going to be a short honeymoon for him and his poll numbers are going to sink like a rock. He was already emasculated by many school systems in VA who told him he could eff right off with the mask thing, and the courts will shoot him down as well.

So, be careful drawing the wrong conclusions from his narrow victory in November. The backlash is only beginning and November 2022 is going to be a different set of issues, especially if Russia invades Ukraine and Omicron has faded. Other issues are going to dominate the mid-terms, not this ridiculous fight over phantom menaces of CRT and masking in schools.

Yes, agree with this. His platform was that parents could have better visibility into what their kids are learning in school. He is informed and is ok with it that's his choice but he is not saying that other parents have to choose it for their kids.

It's not really a big deal.


He literally banned the materials that his own kids are being taught. There is no choice if you want your kids to be exposed to certain teachings, the only choice is if you don't want your kid taught about that Jim Crow was a thing.
Because that is the mandate he believes he received from voters. I don't agree with his actions or the mandate, but those who voted for him appear to.

You can teach your kids whatever you want at home. You are only angry because you want other kids to learn it too.
