Virginia Governor Glen Youngkin (R) moved to ban critical race theory and federal COVID vaccine mandates in a series of executive orders hours after he was sworn in on Saturday.
“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.”
