Schooling Terry McAuliffe – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

In the end, McAuliffe s last best hope is that the federal bureaucrats who have colonized northern Virginia will vote in large enough numbers to save him. That s how he won in 2013. In 2021, however, those voters have something in common with Youngkin s supporters they are parents who want their children educated rather than indoctrinated. Moreover, many of the school board protests that have made national news occurred in Fairfax and Loudoun counties in northern Virginia. Most of those protests have been against the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in public schools. Glenn Youngkin has pledged to ban the teaching of CRT on his first day in office if elected governor.

A Fox News poll published on October 14 found that a 57 percent of Virginia s parents believe they should tell schools what to teach, and that only 40 percent of likely voters agree with McAuliffe s stated position. If these numbers accurately reflect the attitude of the Commonwealth s voters, particularly as they relate to those residing in the state s northern counties, it isĀ  entirely possible that Virginia is about to send former Gov. McAuliffe and the Democratic Party in general to school.
