Episode 4: Virginia -- What Homeschoolers Can Learn
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Virginia didn’t just lean blue on November 4th -- it went full-on deep blue, handing Democrats a 64–36 super-majority in the General Assembly. Emily Fort and Madelyn Michels break down why it happened (hint: millions of furloughed federal workers flooding Northern Virginia played a big role) and how weak, consultant-approved GOP candidates left the base cold and handed the Left a victory.
Then they dig into SB 1031—the bill that tried to shred Virginia’s religious-exemption homeschool protections by dragging families back under state testing and oversight.
Emily and Madelyn connect the dots between political power and control, explain what this new super-majority means for 2026, and lay out why homeschool families must be organized, engaged, and ready.
Listen in—and share it—because what just happened in Virginia is coming for the rest of the country.
