McAuliffe Put a Final Stake in His Campaign With Remarks About White Teachers

As we noted earlier, you can tell a lot about the difference between the campaigns of Terry McAuliffe and Glenn Youngkin who are both running for governor in Virginia.

One is concentrated on being nasty and political, the other is focused on the issues about which the voters care.

But if that wasn’t going down the rabbit hole enough already, McAuliffe decided he wanted to put a final stake in his campaign with another divisive message. He complained that 80 percent of the teachers in the schools were white.

From Fox News:

“We got to work hard to diversify our teacher base,” McAuliffe said at a campaign event in Manassas Sunday.

“Fifty percent of our students are students of color, 80% of the teachers are White, so what I’m going to do for you, we’ll be the first state in America,” he continued. “If you go teach in Virginia for five years in a high-demand area — that could be geographic, it could be course work — we will pay room, board, tuition, any college, any university, or any HBCU here in Virginia.”

The number is fairly close to the general population number in the U.S., which is about 77 percent white. But once again, this is just straight-up racist — where the focus of the hiring isn’t on who’s the best for the job, it’s on the person’s race. McAuliffe is saying it right there — that it’s all about race. It sounds like he’s aiming for a racial quota system.
