| Dear Diary: Why do I feel stupid sometimes? |
The Compromised News Network's Jim Acosta is upset that Virginia elected Republicans who refuse to infuse the state with socialist policies. So like a good socialist-loving fake news "reporter" Acosta had something to say and called Virginia a "soviet-style state," under Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
Leftists can't stand when they lose to the voters, which is why they prefer dead ones and illegal immigrants who they believe will vote for them.
“I seem to remember Glenn Youngkin campaigning in a fleece vest in Virginia,” Acosta said on Tuesday night. “He was running as a different kind of Republican. I was told there was going to be a vest, not a Soviet-style police state across the Potomac from Washington.”
Acosta also accused Youngkin of “pitting citizen against citizen” after playing a clip of the governor promising to remove “inherently divisive teaching practices out of the schools.”
In other words, Youngkin refused to allow teachers to promulgate Marxist-based critical race theory ideology in the classrooms because parents are against it, and it's racist because it's designed to make white children feel inferior and guilty about their skin color. It also vilifies America and while we aren't perfect, teaching both the good and bad is the way to go.
Acosta was pissed off by the removal of CRT curriculum from the taxpayer-funded schools even though that was one of the promises that got Youngkin elected by the people. In fact, it was a chief promise he made along with his Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears. But the fake news socialist said that it violates “the traditional conservative tenets of liberty, anti-censorship and freedom.” CRT, however, censors patriotism, for example, and other forms of free speech.
When a leftist makes a claim about something they are against, you can bet that they are the ones doing what they are attacking. The term is 'cancel culture.' Example: treating Black folks like they're not capable of getting ID in order to vote is racist, but they claim that voter ID itself is racist. Some call it the soft bigotry of low expectations, but it's really not soft at all. You can also see it in the classroom where grades are dismissed because grades are racist, math is racist, and words can be racist.
The same is true with their push for equity. The Left believes that all outcomes should be equal, which tends to eliminate individual excellence and promotes mediocrity. Equal opportunity makes sense, as outcomes are based on ability and effort made by the individual. If everyone gets a trophy, then trophies are meaningless. If everyone knows they can get a trophy, the outcomes all improve.
Acosta, who never met a Republican he liked, also slammed Youngkin for putting a process in place for parents to complain if public school teachers violate the law by teaching racially divisive concepts that stem from CRT. For example, claiming all members of one race [aka the White race] inherently oppress all members of other races.
Acosta, who calls himself a journalist, compared the measure to the Texas Heartbeat law, a pro-life protection that allows citizens to sue abortionists who perform an abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually around the sixth week of pregnancy.
“How concerned should we be, about these laws that seem to be catching on of, citizens ratting each other out?” he asked Jong-Fast, adding they encourage “canceling your neighbor across the street or next door.”
Yeah, those laws seemed to have been catching on now that science progressed enough to show that it isn't fetal tissue abortion kills, it's a baby. And insofar as Acosta mention 'canceling your neighbor,' it's laughable to hear a leftist say that when this is their default position whenever they hear something they don't like.
Virginia state Attorney General Jason Miyares responded to Acosta’s remarks during a Fox News interview with host Sean Hannity on Wednesday night, saying, “I think what Jim Acosta said — listen, my family fled Communist Cuba.”
“You want to talk about what ‘Soviet-style’ looks like? It’s the opposite of freedom,” he said.
“So clearly, Jim Acosta maybe needs to take some history classes of what Soviet-style communism actually looks like. And [Virginia is] the opposite.”
“What we have said is parents matter. Listen, if you’re a parent and you want to mask your child for six, seven, eight hours a day, you absolutely have that right. That’s your individual decision,” Miyares continued. “The great irony of all this, is in Soviet-style communist states like Cuba, the state diminishes parents. They say, ‘Your loyalty is to the state,’ and parents have less control. This is about parental empowerment.”

But the Left really is aware of this and they used to be more covert about their desire to remove parents from their role; they prefer the government be the main source of influence.
"The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions." Karl Marx
Miyares told oh how his uncle had been arrested in the middle of the night by the Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro's secret police and that their home was “nationalized: in the name of fairness and equity.”
Equity--an excuse to do what they will.
Equity, while it sounds fair and looks good, is like a chocolate ice cream cone but the chocolate isn't chocolate and you do not want to eat it.
