This is something the national GOP should get behind strongly. But I bet they won’t.
You are absolutely correct. This is an issue that has the potential to bring a lot of swing voters to our side. Suburban moms and other relatively low-information voters are ambivalent about a lot of issues but educating their kids is not one of them. Youngkin rode this issue to a win in a purple state and others should follow his example. It’s an easy argument to make as COVID demonstrated that the actual education of your children is not the priority of the teacher’s unions.
