Parents Wanted School Choice — and They Voted

Republican politicians are calling themselves the Parents’ Party. Parents are holding them to it.

Last year, Glenn Youngkin won Virginia’s gubernatorial election by riding a wave of parental discontent over district schools that were failing to open for in-person instruction, be transparent about radical curricular materials, or even keep kids safe. Youngkin promised to make schools more accountable to parents and to enact policies that give parents more choices among schooling options.
