Fast Terry McAuliffe is having a very difficult time handling education policy right now. He’s been all over the place.
First as a candidate in the Democratic primary he told his base he liked Critical Race Theory (he did support CRT when he was governor). After he won the nomination he backed-off his support of CRT, claiming it is not in our schools, then calling it a dog whistle. He also had to downplay a rape in Loudoun County out of fear of being labeled anti-trans. Parents are rightfully concerned about quality of education and safety in our public schools.
But in an unusual plot twist, Fast Terry is now claiming that concerned parents do not exist.
A CBS reporter asked Fast Terry, “How are you going to work with those parents who have concerns about how things are being taught in schools?“ That’s a fair question.
Fast Terry said, “Let’s be very clear here. This is all generated by Glenn Youngkin.”
Has he not been paying attention? School Boards across the commonwealth have heard from real parents with real concerns.
Good luck telling concerned parents they do not exist. I can’t imagine that’ll work. Fast Terry keeps digging himself deeper and deeper into a hole with parents.
