Is Resistance Forming to Youngkin's Education Agenda?
by James A. Bacon
A day after Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin announced the appointment of two vocal opponents of Critical Race Theory-inspired policies in public schools, the Virginia Association of School Superintendents (VASS) has announced a new executive director… who is a vocal advocate of CRT initiatives.
Dr. Scott S. Braband, superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools, has taken on the top administrative position at the organization, which represents the interests of the state’s 133 school superintendents. In the past, judging from its website posts, VASS has focused mainly on practical issues such as getting more state funding for schools and solving the teacher shortage. Does Braband’s appointment indicate a shift in emphasis?
Braband was a polarizing figure in Fairfax County, leading the push for “diversity, equity & inclusion” and “anti-racism.” Most controversially, he changed the admissions criteria for the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology to admit more Blacks and Hispanics at the expense of Asians.
The question arises: what does this appointment mean? Is VASS signaling that it will transition from nuts-and-bolts operational and fiscal concerns to ideological priorities? Is VASS positioning itself to oppose Youngkin’s vow to rid schools of CRT? Alternatively, did Braband just see the writing on the wall and figure he didn’t have much of a future as a school superintendent in the new order?
So, it's not over. Lets not become complacent out there, Virginians. The Commies are upping the opposition, and we all know what that means. Lies, lies, rioting, more lies about who is rioting. violence, lies about who's fault it is people are rioting, following by strong arm opposition, lies, cries of "racism" and "white supremacy" and more Lies. Now this piece of communist shit is in charge of superintendents all over the country.
