Glenn Youngkin faces boos, jeers from liberal audience as he spars with Texas journalist on education
Fox News
Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin had a tense exchange with Texas Tribune co-founder Evan Smith over education at the news outlet's annual festival.
"So let me put myself in the frame of mind of an educator… Don't you trust educators to do their jobs?" Smith asked. "If educators believe that books should be on a syllabus or part of a course, haven't we, for years, trusted our educators to make decisions that were good enough to educate us? Why would they not be good enough to educate our kids?" Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to joseph.wulfsohn@fox.com and on Twitter: @JosephWulfsohn.
"Because there were books that were put on the curriculum for classes that families - and remember, Virginia is an incredibly diverse state," Youngkin responded. "We have a large Muslim population, a large Jewish population, a large Hindu population, a large Hispanic population, a large Black population. I mean, we are an incredibly diverse state, and there are materials that were on the curriculum that really were inconsistent with a family's personal values. And therefore, this bill was put in front of Gov. McAuliffe at the time - passed unanimously out of our Senate. I mean, unanimous… it was transparency and an opt-out for a replacement, and he vetoed it."
