You have to catch these things before they get too far.
Anyway, apparently Youngkin has squashed the whole deal.
The next time Dems take over at the state level maybe they won’t try to decrease academic offerings.
VDOE already squashed detracking in April 2021. Academic offerings were not being decreased.
Youngkin is pushing these lies to fleece his followers.
VDOE only backtracked on that when the FCPS and TJ moms like Asra caught wind of the plan.
Afger getting caught, they backtracked and purged the VDOE website of the details that showed their plan was indeed to dumb down math standards and detrack students all the way from K through 10th grade.
The evidence was there on the Virginia Department of Education website. Many parents viewed the written materials and watched the videos.
You can make up and repost the same thing over and over, but you are being dishonest and inaccurate.
Another point, when VDOE revised the elementary school history standards last year, they added a bullet in the curriculum standards for history that elementary kids in Virginia are to be taught that Independence Day (July 4th) is a divisive and controversial holiday.
So if you have parents in elementary school, indoctrinating elementary kids to view the celebration of our nation's birthday as a bad thing was next on their agenda. The documents are available on the VA dept of education website. You just have to do some digging.

VPMI is dead only because it actually got enough press to be exposed. Doesn't mean we've forgotten who tried to push it through in the first place.
They are still trying to push through changes to the advanced classes. The VPMI website was updated after the publicity it got to try to make it more defendable. They are still renaming courses and trying to combine them in an effort to combine as many kids as possible into the same math levels.
They were reworking the courses and adding new options. But as of April 2021 they weren’t taking away acceleration/advanced classes. That has been - and would have been - up to the school systems.
Stop pushing GOP lies.
VMPI was garbage. Thankfully one good part of Youngkin's disaster of a first executive order was to get rid of VMPI so at least that is settled.

Wait a few weeks. I doubt it’s gone forever.

All of this.
You must think parents are idiots.

As of April 2022, it was off the table.
Continuing to push it today as something still being considered is straight-up GOP propaganda/lies.
Pathetic that the GOP has nothing meaningful to offer our schools - only lies.
Since you keep repeating the same thing over and over I will paste in the same response someone gave you in the other thread.

And your radicalized view of education cost you the last election.
Now your radical VMPI is dead. I’m not trolling. With VMPI thankfully gone, there’s nothing left to discuss with you.
So please get off it. No one believes what you are saying. We saw it for ourselves and hated it. The die has been cast. Let it go.

This video is very clear about the goal to detrack K-10. They only backed off of this because of public outcry. It’s revisionist history to say that detracking wasn’t the explicit goal of the VMPI.
