New Virginia Governor, Republican Glenn Youngkin, is making sweeping changes to the state, ending ‘vaccine’ mandates, mask mandates and Critical Race Theory being taught in schools.
“Parents should have a say in what is taught in school, because in Virginia, parents have a fundamental right to make decisions with regards to their child’s upbringing, education and care,” Youngkin said in his inaugural address. “To parents I say we respect you. And we will empower you in the education of your children.”
The Governor vowed to keep schools open – which has been affected by the covid pandemic – and is planning to ban CRT from being taught.
“We will remove politics from the classroom and re-focus on essential math, science and reading,” Youngkin said. “And we will teach all of our history the good and the bad.”
“Let me be clear: We MUST keep our children in school five days a week,” he added.
In his first day in office, Youngkin signed 11 executive orders – they included giving parents the right to have their children opt out of mask mandates in Virginia schools. He also withdrew from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
One executive order, includes initiating an investigation into Loudon County Schools, who attempted to cover up the rape of a girl in a school bathroom by a transgender student.
Virginia’s new Attorney General is also wasting no time getting to work, only hours after being sworn in, Jason Miyares announced that investigations will be made into the Virginia Parole Board and Loudoun County.
“One of the reasons Virginians get so fed up with government is the lack of transparency – and that’s a big issue here,” Miyares wrote.
“The Virginia Parole Board broke the law when they let out murders, rapists, and cop killers early on their sentences without notifying the victims. Loudoun Country Public Schools covered up a sexual assault on school grounds for political gain, leading to an additional assault of a young girl.”
Louise Lucas, a Virginia State Senator, said that Miyares apparently fired the entire Civil Rights Division, a claim which he has denied and stated that only two staff members were let go.
“There are 12 individuals who work in the Office of Civil Rights – only two personnel changes were made,” Miyares spox Victoria LaCivita said.
The new AG is also going to be prosecuting cases that George Soros District Attorneys refuse to prosecute.
Meanwhile, in his final act as Governor, the black face wearing, baby killing advocate, Ralph Northam, pardoned Democrat state Senator Joe Morrissey, who was incarcerated for sex crimes against children.
Morrissey was charged with having a sexual relationship, with his 17 year old law firm receptionist. He was 57 years old at the time and received a 12 month sentence, for engaging in sex acts with a minor.
After the girl turned 18, Morrissey married her and they now have four children together.
Richmond Times-Dispatch reported:
Gov. Ralph Northam has pardoned Sen. Joe Morrissey, D-Richmond, for a misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor related to his relationship with a 17-year-old law firm assistant who later became his wife.
Morrissey, then a delegate, was convicted in 2014. He and his wife, Myrna, are now raising four children.
Morrissey said he learned of the pardon on Thursday. Northam granted him what’s called a simple pardon.
“To say that I was extremely pleased with what the governor did would be, perhaps for me, the understatement of the 2022 General Assembly session,” he said.
“Most importantly, my wife is grateful,” he said.
And although their young children don’t understand a pardon yet, they’ll be grateful someday for the governor’s action, Morrissey said.
