Is Glenn Youngkin really going to try to run a whole campaign for governor on transgender students and some faddish educational theory that no one can really define and which may not even be being taught anyway? It sure looks that way â and that does a disservice both to Virginia voters and, ultimately, Youngkin himself. Republican strategists may think harping on critical race theory and the occasional transgender student is good politics but by making the culture wars the centerpiece of the Republican campaign in Virginia in 2021 theyâre selling their standard-bearer short â unless, of course, Youngkin really is a culture warrior, in which case his choice of campaign issues is revealing.
