不管左右，我是乐见Youngkin这样比较正常不那么extrem 的candidate政治素人出来选并且用选民真正关心的issue选胜。就像前面一个帖子说的，我们中间的两边的的疯子都不要，就要个正常的关心real issues 的。

其实McAuliffe也是算中间派，他以前的州长记录也没啥惊世骇俗的举动。维州这种紫色州本来也出不了极端派州长。问题是他太脱离群众，完全不懂老百姓的疾苦啊。什么玩意，家长蹲家里在电脑前陪着神兽听课听了一年，然后你来一句，“I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach .” 太傲慢太他妈欺负人了！

好奇VA新州长会reverse G&T schools' admission policy 吗？Thomas Jefferson high school 录取标准会改回来吗？

回答你一下。Youngkin虽然竞选后期拼命说教育，其实能做的有限。教育都是郡里管，钱都是校董会来批。但是TJ是少有的州长能说了算的。

One area in which Youngkin has more power to act is that of Governor’s Schools, the handful of magnet high schools and summer programs in Virginia that serve gifted students. The state’s department of education administers the programs, although local school boards and superintendents are allowed input, meaning Youngkin’s administration could enact change almost unilaterally.

Youngkin has already promised changes to the admissions process at Virginia’s flagship magnet school, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, a STEM-focused institution that is frequently rated the best high school in the nation.

Fairfax County school officials last year enacted major changes to Thomas Jefferson’s admissions process, eliminating a notoriously tough test and asking reviewers to consider applicants’ “experience factors” such as socioeconomic background. The revisions led to the acceptance of the most diverse class of students in recent memory.

Youngkin’s campaign told The Post in September that he would seek to reverse these changes and ask the school to revert to a solely merit-based process.
