Republican candidate for governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin will on Wednesday outline a plan to “restore an academic standard of excellence in Virginia schools and return common sense to the classroom, so that children are taught how to think instead of what to think.”
Since Democrats took control of the state legislature in 2019, residents have noticed a rapid decline in education, with schools remaining closed for most of the year due to coronavirus at the behest of teachers unions. State agencies, meanwhile, have increasingly focused on pushing political and racial ideas in the classroom, and even floated eliminating advanced mathematics because of racially unequal outcomes.
