Pence Wades Into School Debate Roiling Virginia Race

“Former Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday hailed activist parents who are decrying school curriculums as un-American, equating instruction on the effects of institutional racism with ‘state-sponsored racism’ and warning that such efforts might ‘indoctrinate’ children,” the AP reports.

“The fight over schools has become a flashpoint in the Virginia governor’s race, where polls show a dead heat between Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin ahead of Election Day on Tuesday.”
