NoVA schools are sending this message to Youngkin and the other a-holes in VA:

We reject your illegal, anti-science, anti-education, lame-a$$ attempts to push GOP propaganda.

Masks help. We won't stop using them in the middle of a surge.

The dumbing down of Virginia continues.


EO #1:
https://www.governor.virginia.gov/media/governorvirginiagov/governor-of-virginia/pdf/74---eo/74---eo/EO-1---ENDING-THE-USE-OF-INHERENTLY-DIVISIVE-CONCEPTS,-INCLUDING-CRITICAL-RACE-THEORY,-AND-RESTORING-EXCELLEN.pdf
"The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall end the Virginia Math Pathways
Initiative. "

How's that going to work? VDOE is required by law to update the math curriculum every seven years.

This is the kind of poorly-researched and drafted idiocy you get when you elect someone with no government experience who doesn’t actually take government seriously.

People, don't respond to the Youngkin supporters coming into this thread to argue. They are not allowed to post in this particular thread, so just report them and move on so we can have rational discussion.

I know an Arlington special education attorney who is already working on how to bring a lawsuit to enjoin enforcement of the EO. Youngkin is going to get buried on this.

And he is about to have a fight with Northern Virginia schools that he will lose badly, both in court of law and in the court of public opinion.

The irony is he wants to empower parents. We parents demand 100% mask compliance during a surge.

Will he send in armed officers to enforce the EO?


That’s a very good question.


Yes it is coming. The state police are all big trumpers and many were involved in the Jan 6th thing. This is why Charlottesville was chosen by those crazies for that “march”. Wonder if anyone will protest when the state police comes to school and arresting 8 year olds for wearing a mask or be vaccinated. What is wrong with republicans?
