Statement Welcoming Glenn’s Latest Appointment to the State Board of Education

July 29, 2024

Richmond, VA – Last week, Glenn quietly named Antonin Scalia’s daughter and failed school board candidate Meg Scalia Bryce to the Virginia Board of Education. We here at Spirit of America think this was an inspired choice, and have released the below statement regarding this exciting appointment: 

“What a day for public education Virginia!

Last year, the voters of Albemarle County made a mistake when they refused to elect Meg Scalia Bryce to their local school board. Naysayers claim her loss had to do with her so-called ‘extreme’ positions like embracing Moms for Liberty, books bans, school vouchers, and denying the existence of systemic racism. Or the fact that she’s pulled all of her children out of public school. 

But we know the real reason: leftist voters just weren’t ready for a proud conservative voice standing up for the needs of parents.

But Governor Glenn has heroically righting that wrong by appointing Scalia Bryce to the State Board of Education, where she can have a direct impact not just on the students of Albemarle, but on every student across the Commonwealth!

Glenn has had countless successes when it comes to public education, from banning books and outing transgender children to unsupportive parents to setting up a teacher snitch line and embracing a nationwide ban on the evils of equity. So we shouldn’t be surprised that he just keeps on winning. Scalia Bryce comes with a wealth of experience, including a training from the Christian nationalist Noah Webster Educational Foundation, which featured a thrilling session on the best way to ban books.

And because the State Board of Education is tasked with important duties like setting statewide curriculum standards and determining qualifications for teachers, don’t we need someone like Scalia Bryce at the table? Don’t our students deserve a failed candidate with a famous, right-wing ideologue father who sends her children to private school to make decisions on behalf of all these public school plebes? 

The answer is a definitive and heartfelt yes.”
