According to McAuliffe, wanting parents to control their kids education is just racist dog whistling by his opponent Glenn Youngkin.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cHe wants to ban Toni Morrison\u2019s book \u201cBeloved,\u201d so he\u2019s going after one of the most prominent female African American writers in American history\u2026won the Nobel Prize, Presidential Medal of Freedom and he wants her books banned,\u201dsaid McAuliffe. \u201cNow in all the hundreds of books you could look at, why did you take the one black female author? Why did you do it? He\u2019s ending the campaign on a racist dog whistle.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The controversy is based on a bill vetoed by then-governor McAuliffe in 2013, which was supposed to allow parents to know that explicit material was going to be taught in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Youngkin believes parents should have the final say in what is taught to their kids in schools. He took to Twitter to note, \u201clet\u2019s rise above the rhetoric, rise above the division, and enable the dreams and pursuits of the next generation by securing safety and excellence in our schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/rep-jordan-i-think-there-is-more-to-come-in-durham-probe\/\">Rep.
