he was quickly put on defense. we are only concerned about violence, threats of violence against school administrators, teachers, staff, people like your mother, a teacher. one example was scott smith who was arrested at a louden, virginia school board hearing, after his daughter reported being sexually assaulted in the bathroom by a male wearing a skirt. the board dismissed the claims. instead of investigating parents, the department of justice should be investigating those who covered up a heinous crime in our schools. it s getting a lot of traction there and the nsba says we deeply value the work of local school boards that make important contributions in the communities, but also the voices of parents who should and must be continued to be heard.
option. and even though it s not compulsory to send their kids to public school, but most can t afford the tuition or stay home to home school. and if we had school of choice, the money would follow the child. and in virginia, taxpayers and parents seem to understand this. 79% of parents say they tax dollars to follow the child. 68% of all voters say that. so, basically what you ve got here is almost 80% of parents and two-thirds of all voters support school of choice in virginia of all places. david: yeah. so we can turn this around. david: well, and the point is, is that parents are unhappy. we just have a fox news poll showing 80% of parents are very concerned about what their very or extremely concerned about what schools are teaching and apparently a lot of that, a big chunk of that 80% aren t too pleased with what they re seeing. but the education lobby, groups
national organizations, whether it s the unions, or the national school board s associations, that s where the radical agenda comes from. the locals not so much so. absolutely correct. in fact, some of the school boards there s been articles about it, that people are running and taking control and they re changing what s happening in their local school districts. and i would encourage every parent, you have power, you have real power. and you should use that power. in this country, you can still decide where your child goes to school. parents are the first educators of their children and they should take advantage of that and be for school of choice. every time, ask people what they support when you vote for them. certainly in the race in virginia, people are paying attention. and glenn youngton said he s for school of choice and parents should be empowered and have something to say about what their children learn. that s a good thing. david: you made me feel optimistic about the who

on tuesday. this race has become not only a big deal in virginia, maryland and d.c., but in so many states because analysts are looking at it as a bellwether for 2022 and the presidential race in 24. david: absolutely. that drop in independent support is just extraordinary. i ve never seen a drop like that. david, thank you very much. well, this is why these approval numbers among independents are so important. the biggest portion of voters in america by far consider themselves independents. look at this, 41% independent, 29% for republicans, 29 for democrats. so is the push for bigger government backfiring bigtime? fox news contributor karl rove joining us now. karl, great to see you, thanks for coming in. we re going to talk about terry mcauliffe in a moment, but first, let s focus on biden. the vast middle ground. to go from 61% down to 34, a 27%
