John, it looks like Glenn Youngkin's presidential aspirations have driven him to even lower depths:
wusa9: Gov. Glenn Youngkin wants AP African American studies reviewed
After Ron DeSantis took unprecedented actions to limit the teaching of African American studies in Florida schools, Youngkin is following in his footsteps. Youngkin could be using his office to solve problems and unite Virginians. But instead, he's attacking college-accredited courses working to silence discussions in the classroom.
I believe that history should be taught in all of its uncomfortable and complicated forms — and I'm disgusted to see Glenn Youngkin and Virginia Republicans use AP African American studies as the latest cudgel in their culture wars.
If elected to the State Senate, I'll be a voice for sanity and stand up to the shameless efforts by the right to demonize Black history as "divisive" — but I can't get there without your help. Will you chip in $10 or more to help me counter the right-wing misinformation on the campaign trail and fight back against the dangerous narratives that Virginia Republicans are trying to push before November's elections?

Youngkin and his cronies know their policy agenda isn't popular. So they're manufacturing controversy and using months of trumped-up hysteria to target respected and valuable elements of the public school system.
Let's be clear: there is nothing about teaching AP African American studies that should be controversial to anyone making a serious argument. What should be controversial is the attempted silencing of facts that politicians deem "inconvenient."
It's time we had more leaders in Richmond who will call this out for what it is. If you're sick of the far-right whitewashing history and attacking public schools, please stand with me to help me win this Senate seat and ensure that Youngkin never gets a trifecta that can carry out his extreme agenda →
