Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe trotted out Randi Weingarten, the American Federation Of Teachers (AFT) union boss responsible for shutting down schools on the eve of the election.
Brilliant strategy.

Weingarten’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

McAuliffe had a strong closing message to voters on Monday: Virginia has too many white teachers.
“I promise you, we gotta diversify our teacher base here in Virginia,” McAuliffe said on Monday. “50 percent of the students in Virginia schools K-12 are students of color and yet 80 percent of teachers are white. We all know what we have to do in a school to make everybody feel comfortable in school, so let’s diversify it!”
McAuliffe has also repeatedly called parents concerned about Critical Race Theory (CRT) being taught in public schools “racist.”
It’s almost as if McAuliffe knows the fix is in and he doesn’t need the voters to win.
