Glenn Youngkin Blasted By Union for Trying To 'Intimidate' Teachers With Tip Line

[AZProgressive]

A Virginia teachers' union has accused Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin of trying to "intimidate educators" by setting up a tip line that parents can use to report teachers.

Youngkin this week promoted a government email address that he said parents can use to report "divisive practices," while speaking about his executive order banning critical race theory in schools.

The goal is for parents "to send us any any instances where they feel that their fundamental rights are being violated, where their children are not being respected, where there are inherently divisive practices in their schools," Youngkin told conservative radio host John Fredericks during an interview on Monday.

James J. Fedderman, the president of the Virginia Education Association (VEA), a union representing more than 40,000 teachers and school support professionals, described the tip line as "poorly conceived" and "designed to intimidate educators simply trying to do their jobs."
