Virginia governor faces school districts revolt over classroom overhaul plan

Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s attempts to remake classroom instruction in one of the nation’s top public schools systems are facing a revolt.

Why it matters: In a rare show of unity, a group representing all of Virginia’s 133 school district superintendents denounced the Republican’s attacks on school curriculum and his ‘tipline’ to complain about educators.

In a letter to the state last week, the superintendents called for the elimination of the controversial tipline and slammed Youngkin for rolling back diversity and equity measures in schools.

The superintendents said that Youngkin’s targeting of equity measures can “set public education in Virginia back many years.”

Democrats need to start referring to these kinds of laws and actions as Republican Thought Crimes Legislation. Repeat it over and over.

We need to GET OUT AND VOTE IN 2023! (Yes, VA state elections are in odd years). We're pretty well fucked for the next two years.
