For what it’s worth, Virginia did have 8 years of Democratic governorship, with all 3 levels of government flipping entirely blue for a few years. It’s been a solid purple state for 2 decades, and a purpleish-blue state the last decade.
Where this all fell apart was the Democrats put in a former fairly corporate type in who was doing okay, but he wasn’t really exciting. His pre-election likeability dropped when he said something along the lines of that parents shouldn’t dictate what their kids learn in school or something, and that’s exactly the fodder the Youngkin campaign used to win.
The living costs vary significantly on area – Northern Virginia is fairly expensive (let’s call it… $2200ish for a 1br?)
I’m just winging it at being an adult, as long as you view your child as an individual and not an extension of yourself your at least doing that part correctly.
I mean he was right though. How the fuck would a consensus based curriculum even work? It’s completely illogical. Unless you are a shockingly stupid suburban parent, I suppose.

To be fair parents don’t know what’s best for their children. Don’t tell parents that though they take it personally.
Oh I agree. He just said the quiet part out loud which didn’t help.
It shouldn’t be quiet though. It should be extremely obvious why giving parents a curriculum veto can’t possibly work.
I’m a parent. I have no fucking clue what’s really best for my kid, aren’t we all just winging it?
