Glenn Youngkin lays out his education plan
Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin laid out his education plan on Tuesday night, addressing teacher pay, higher standards for students, a ban on critical race theory in schools, and concerns about alleged sexual assaults involving a male student in a girls’ restroom.
BURKE, Va. – Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin promised to bring transparency, accountability, choice, and higher standards to the state’s schools, condemning the Loudoun County School Board for allegedly covering up a male student’s alleged sexual assault against a female student in a girls’ restroom. The male student allegedly assaulted another girl at another school months later.
“A young girl was sexually assaulted in her school, and the administrators, those who were trusted with not only her education but her safety, tried to cover it up,” Youngkin declared in his speech at the Burke Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department Tuesday night. “And they quietly moved the offender, an offender being prosecuted for sexual assault, to another school, where he was able to do it again. Two young girls have been sexually assaulted because our system, our system failed to protect them.”

“As a Virginian, I’m heartbroken for these girls and their families,” Youngkin said. “I’m heartbroken at how their government leaders failed them. As a father, I am ignited with an unwavering resolve to not just fix this but to hold those who have failed our children accountable.”
