Glenn Youngkin effort to reshape Virginia’s schools has had a modest start. The first full school year of his term is over, and the state’s schools are still far from settled.
Glenn Youngkin campaigned on banning critical race theory in schools and empowering parents in their children’s education.
Progress has been made on these goals, but there has been resistance from school districts and teachers’ unions.
One notable action was Youngkin’s executive order prohibiting the teaching of critical race theory, yet some school districts have disregarded it, and a lawsuit challenging its legality is pending.
Additionally, Youngkin appointed new members to the State Board of Education who align more closely with his views and have already voted to change some education policies in the state.
However, it is too early to determine the long-term impact of Youngkin’s education policies as the state’s schools remain in flux. It will take time to observe how these new policies will unfold.
It remains to be seen what the long-term impact of Youngkin’s education agenda will be. However, his changes have already had a significant impact on the state’s schools, and it will be interesting to see how they play out in the years to come.
