Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, a radical leftist Democrat, has been all over the board when it comes to education. He doesn’t want parents making decisions about their kids’ education. He claims Critical Race Theory is not taught there when it is. He ignores transgender rapes in girls’ bathrooms. All the while, he puts on a happy — albeit creepy — face when describing how wonderful Virginia public schools are.
He is very proud to have raised his kids through the system. Well, one, at least. He sent the other four to private school, though neglects to mention that on the campaign trail.
According to Fox News:
“We have a great school system in Virginia. Dorothy and I have raised our five children,” McAuliffe said on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” during an interview in which he slammed Youngkin’s positions on education.
While this may be true, four out of McAuliffe’s five children went to private high schools.
According to a Washington Post profile from 2013, when after McAuliffe won a previous election to become governor, one of McAuliffe’s sons attended Gonzaga College High School, a Catholic institution in Washington, D.C., that has a current annual tuition of $24,950, not including meals or transportation.
That price tag is a bargain compared to The Potomac School in McLean, Va., where three of McAuliffe’s other went to high school. According to their website, Potomac’s tuition for the 2021-22 school year is $45,650 per year from grades 9-12.
Fox News reached out to McAuliffe’s campaign for comment but they did not immediately respond.
Terry McAuliffe lives in a fantasy world in which he pretends to fight for the regular people of Virginia while constantly demonstrating how detached he is from the middle class. He was a disaster as governor before and would be much worse now if he’s not stopped.
20% true
Not bad for Terry
Fraud shall win the day, Tuesday.
Thanks grundle.
4 out of 5 kids sent to private schools. If you’re one of us you accuse him of sending ALL of his kids to private schools. Let them get angry at the lie but make them take more time explaining it. We never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Rub his nose in it even after the election.
Terry is a classic example of a schill.

Since its founding, The Potomac School has steadfastly believed that developing a student’s character is as important as educating for intellectual growth. Informed by values, students learn to use their intellect and skills productively and in service to others. The school has identified the following five core values as the ethical and moral guideposts that enable all of us in the Potomac community to develop good judgment and live principled lives:
COURAGE ~ INTEGRITY ~ HUMILITY ~ PERSEVERANCE ~ RESPECT
And yet millions will vote for him. democrat voters are the enemy.
Gee what does it feel like to be McCaulfield’s #5 kid?
These people are so stupid - they think no one will check their stories. How stupid can u be?
Virginia may be a lesson in why Democrat states often elect Republican governors while sending Democrats to Congress and the Presidency. It is analogous to throwing their trash out the window to annoy neighbors rather than clutter the floors in their own home. Basically. they either do not want their “virtue” signaling directly impacting their own lives or they determine the fiscal irresponsibility that Democrat governors bring to their states may need a deep local cleansing in which case they elect a RINO governor to mop the fiscal floor and then later throw him out with the pail. Many Democrat white virtue signalers in Northern Virginia do not want CRT indoctrinating their children that they are structurally defective and adversely impacting their own kids’ psyches. Although they don’t mind some other locale’s kids being taught they are defective because, perhaps, they are, but not my exceptional kids. Their quiet hypocrisy gives RINO Youngkin, who has promised to dump CRT, the edge.
Awful McAuliffe’s crumb crunchers WENT TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS? WHY7 THEY HELL ISN’T THIS THE LEDE IN WDC?
Lying SOS.
I don’t see ANY of the “Main Stream Media” calling out McAullife for being such a liar. So typical.
The MSM won't fact check it. These details will only be reported on a handful of Twitter handles and a few right-leaning websites that already preach to the choir.
He meant his (and Bill’s) illegitimate children went to public schools . . .
# 5 is the Ted Kennedy of the McCaullife family.
Private schools in DC are about getting sponsored into private clubs not educating your children.
Up until this weekend McAuliffe was making this election about Trump. This weekend McAuliffe did a 180 on this strategy after realizing Trump is a lot more popular in VA than he realized.
