On March 14th, 2022, Local Virginia schools have been revolting over the idea of  Governor Glenn Youngskin’s plan to overhaul classrooms and the local Virginia schools are not happy about this.

Our Community Now also stated “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 ‘tip line’ to complain about educators”

Yahoo News stated “In a letter to the state last week, the superintendents called for the elimination of the controversial tip line 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.” The letter came three weeks after the Youngkin administration published a report claiming evidence of “discriminatory and divisive concepts” in state public schools.The report was in line with the governor’s complaints about critical race theory. His first executive order in office sought to stamp out “inherently divisive concepts” taught in schools”
