Virginia Must Clean House at Its Dept. of Education

There's been much talk about the lunacy of school policies supporting so-called "transgender" or "gender fluid" students. What happened in the girls' restroom at a Loudoun County, Virginia high school — a girl raped by a "transgender" male student and the later public abuse of the girl's father — rightly became a flashpoint in the recent election.

Will anything really be done under the new Republican administration to curb the dangerous policies that enabled this tragedy? What can the newly elected governor and Legislature do to end this insanity? It will be difficult. The radicals are well entrenched in the state bureaucracy and schools.

In 2020, the Democrat-controlled Virginia Legislature passed a law instructing the state Department of Education (DOE) to

School boards should be banned and the NEA should be desolved as should all teachers unions.

Politics and anything other than math, reading, real science, real history, physical education and sports should be banned and anyone caught doing otherwise fired.

Day one fire all previous political appointees. That’s the mistake Bush 43 and Trump made. They will work against his interests if left in place.

Not only employees. All employees submit resignations and need to reapply under scrutiny.
