OMG this is not the point of this thread.

Please find brain cells.

Kids will now get an education.

VA heading in the right direction for education in general.

It is in fact the point of the thread. Are we just lurching back and forth between woke agendas and MAGA agendas?

Left of MAGA is not woke. It is living in reality world. Please stop grouping us all together. There are many of us who despise MAGA but are also not particularly thrilled with the far left. But unlike MAGA, at least the far left hasn't thrown itself behind a sociopathic criminal - I have zero respect for anyone who is constantly creating excuses for the behavior of this madman. There are no policy goals that justify this. Impeach the loser. You will still have a Republican president. But not one who is profiteering off the office and settling old scores and feeding their childish mafia boss complex. But you are afraid of him. So sad.

She's simply a not-crazy, centrist sort of human being. Dem label, because that's the only not-crazy party with a centrist option. The other party is solid core fascist now.

Some good news on a Friday night.

Didn’t happen at all. She “asked” some BOV members to resign. They aren’t going anywhere. She did it to make fake news, which apparently you fell for. Everything is very calm and quiet at UVA, where I am tonight. Everyone is glad Ryan is gone and likes the new Prez. There is no news here.

I’m a UVA alum. All the alums I know were outraged about what Youngkin pulled with Jim Ryan.

Not being snarky, rather earnest in asking: Do most of your alumni friends have similar political leanings as you, and that’s why they are also outraged? Or do your alumni friends with more conservative leanings (not MAGA) have similar outrage levels? Sincerely curious and trying to understand the climate, as have a first year there and new to the UVA community.

No they don't all have similar political leanings and this is not why. We have different political views. And we are all - of both parties - appalled at the undemocratic (small d) abuses of power taking place in our country right now. And yes, to be explicit, this includes Republicans speaking out vocally against it. The fed govt should not be using threats against a college's funding to influence its choice of president. No one I know including those with traditional conservative views is on board with what Maga is doing. Because what they are doing is not in line with traditional conservative small govt values.

DP. How, specifically? She’s an alum, as is her husband. She loves dear old UVA.
