As Twitchy reported, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin was sworn in Saturday, and he signed a number of executive orders, including leaving it up to parents whether children wear masks in school and banning the teaching of critical race theory in public schools.
It’s been fun watching leftist media figures like Joy Reid argue simultaneously that banning CRT is wrong while also arguing that it isn’t being taught or that, as Nicolle Wallace said right after the election, “doesn’t exist.”
CNN’s Bakari Sellers notes with amusement that Youngkin ran on something that doesn’t exist and then banned that thing that doesn’t exist.
Gotta give @GlennYoungkin a ton of credit, he ran on something that doesn’t exist, said he would eliminate said nonexistent thing, then today as his first act banned said thing.
Promises kept, I guess. 🤷🏾♂️

If it isn’t taught in schools, then you shouldn’t mind if it’s banned from schools. https://t.co/DJCYFKdUzH pic.twitter.com/OGfjBvxk8r

So many people upset about canceling something that doesn’t exist.

Opponents argue that those who oppose critical race theory in school just don’t want race and racial history like slavery to be taught. That’s not CRT, so why are they arguing against those who want to ban CRT?
Keep up with this, man. It’s worked great so far!

If it doesn't exist, what are you worried about?

You may as well get use to these Ls. People are tired of being told what to do and how to live

Losing is hard. Tweeting your way thru it is therapy.

Do you ever get tired of being wrong about everything? Must be exhausting.

That's fine. You can continue to be in denial. See you in November.

If it “doesn’t exist”, why was it on the Virginia Department of Education’s website? pic.twitter.com/7hglPGF3X7

It's one thing to deny a political liability before you lose an election over it, but after?

It's kinda weird to complain about eliminating something that doesn't exist.
— AmishDude (@TheAmishDude) January 15, 2022
If it isn't taught then banning it should be no big deal then.
— Jeffrey Voth (@Acuda4me) January 15, 2022
Well if it’s nonexistent as you say, then they was non harm done in making sure it doesn’t creep it’s way in. You seem awful upset about the elimination of something that is non existent.

If it’s true as they say, and critical race theory is an esoteric topic taught only in law schools, this ban should keep it from trickling down into the public schools.
