    Additionally, isn’t the plan for the authorization and accountability structure of these new schools to move away from the local level (where the parents are) to the State Board which will transition to a majority of GY appointees over the next two years? How is that giving parents more control that this administration touts? Oh yeah – there is a tip line for that. Someone is playing chess not checkers.

    Thanks for pointing out an issue I had been too distracted by other matters to focus on. I’ll start paying close attention to this. The last people I would want controlling charter schools would be institutions of higher ed. How can that possibly be squared with the campaign rhetoric of empowering parents? Better not to have charter schools at all. But, then, I don’t know Youngkin’s thinking, and I’d like to see it before drawing a firm conclusion and letting out a loud AAAARRGGH!

      This is where he is proposing to place the $150 million: https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/22.1-349.2/

      I can see Democrat going along with this proposal, while killing the others in the Senate.

        Maybe this is for Liberty U?
        I bet Conservatives would like that idea – Liberty U K-12 schools all over Virginia?

      I think the idea is to probably make sure they learn enough that kids aren’t taking remedial classes in college. Doing that is probably a more clear indication of dropping out.

    “Listen up, you Liberal snowflakes! We’re banning these books and CRT from our schools because they make us feel bad!”

    Snowflakes?

    Just wait until this RINO starts showing his anti-gun position.

    “The backers of Glenn Youngkin on this blog have got to be feeling confused, at least, if not downright betrayed.”

    Actually, we’re relieved that two years of crackpot Democrat governance is at an end, thank God. I’m sure that Team Youngkin will stumble here and there. But, overall, we are thankful that, to paraphrase Cromwell, the Northam Democrats have, in the name of God, gone.
