COVID-19 mandates should be in our rear view mirror. The decision to vaccinate a child against COVID-19 is for Virginia parents to make about what’s best for them and their family. We will not adhere to these @CDCgov mandates.
In Virginia, parents matter.
I've filed an amicus brief against the discriminatory admission policy at Thomas Jefferson High School, which punishes Asian American students because of their race. This is wrong & the opposite of equality.

Remember when an FCPS School Board Member said
...changing Admissions at #TJHSST based on racial quotas wasn’t legal?
I do.

“Too many parents are being shut out of their children’s education.”
...In Virginia, @GovernorVA & we are working to change that
Thank you, @MatureAmericans

@GovernorVA, Lt. @WinsomeSears, & AG @JasonMiyaresVA celebrate the signing SB739 into law with students, moms & dads, legislators, & voters... #parentsmatter
Freedom rings for Virginia parents! @GovernorVA
...signs bi-partisan SB739 letting parents decide what’s best for their own children!
#Mask decisions are finally & rightly now up to parents
Governor @GlennYoungkin today announced updated guidelines for parents, educators, and schools per Executive Order 2, which creates a parental opt-out from mask mandates at both public and private schools in the Commonwealth of Virginia

In an unforgettable moment sharing our joy, the new @GovernorVA @GlennYoungkin & I celebrated this evening for the future of the Commonwealth of Virginia’s families and children!
So proud of Suparna Dutta, my friend and fellow mom in the Educators for Youngkin Coalition effort - what a beautiful voice she is & story she has for families & children in Virginia!
1992, Suparna Dutta arrived in the US from India. 2020, she spoke to our Fairfax County VA school board. They ignored her. 2021, she helped Glenn Youngkin win. 2022, in a sari at his inauguration, she said, “God bless the United States of America!” Wait for her air fist pumps! 👏🏽
Our new State Superintendent Jillian Balow & I are excited to celebrate Governor @GlennYoungkin’s Inauguration Day, an historic day for Virginia!
