Gov Winsome Sears (R) discussed the push for school choice in Virginia and said they are taking on politicians who can send their kids to private school, but \u201cblock poor parents\u201d from doing so and make zip codes into \u201cthe red line on the kind of education you are going to get.\u201d Sears also stated, there\u2019s \u201ca real awakening happening\u201d in immigrant, Black, and Hispanic communities embracing conservative ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Sears stated, \u201c[W]e are challenging those politicians who, by the way, they have the ability to send their children \u2014 because they have the resources \u2014 to send their children to private schools. Why would you stand in the doorway and block poor parents who want their children to make school choices? Why would you stand in their way and say no, you must go to this school and this school only? For me, that\u2019s the new red line. Your zip code, once again, is the red line on the kind of education you are going to get.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>She added, \u201cWell, there is a real awakening happening, and it\u2019s happening in the immigrant community. It\u2019s happening in the Black community. Latinos especially, you see are really seeking to really embrace the Republican ideals, the conservative ideals. Because you can see what\u2019s happening, for example, in Florida with the school choice. The charter schools are going gangbusters, it\u2019s working there. People want choice. And we\u2019re going to have that in Virginia. \u2026 You, politician, you have the opportunity to send your child to whatever school you want. Because you have the means to do so. And by the way, the wealthy, they already have that choice. So, it\u2019s not as if we\u2019re taking money away. What we\u2019re saying is, don\u2019t stand in the way of parents who have begged me, as I was on the campaign trail, why can\u2019t we send our children to whatever school we want? That\u2019s what we\u2019re talking about, the future of the child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Ian&nbsp;Hanchett on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday\u2019s broadcast of the Fox Business Network\u2019s \u201cFox Business Tonight,\u201d Virginia Lt.
