Gov. Youngkin Bans CRT, School Mask Mandates, And State Vaxx Coercion On Day One
The Federalist, Jan 15, 2022

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin took executive action to ban critical race theory (CRT) and mask mandates in Virginia schools, as well as prohibit vaccine mandates for state employees during his first day in office on Saturday. The edicts came just hours after the Virginia Republican was officially sworn in as the state’s 74th governor.

“We’ll start where the future is determined in the classroom preparing Virginia’s children to be career or college ready,” he said during his inaugural address. “We will remove politics from the classroom and re-focus on essential math, science, and reading.  And we will teach all of our history, the good and the bad.”

“And we know that when our children don’t go to school it harms their learning and development. So let me be clear, we must keep our children in school five days a week,” he added.

Good start, but needs to become legislative.

Executive action just means the next Guv can reinstate it.
