The next regular election is 2023. There is currently an effort being mounted to hold a recall election later this year.

November 2023, with their replacements taking office in January 2024, although there is apparently a substantial effort underway by the locals to recall these revolting people.

Is there an actual legal mechanism for recall?

ROFLMAO.

And y'all wonder why people don't take you seriously.


Wokeism IS a religion to the Left.

So you're ok with preaching religion to kids in school.....

As long as it's YOUR religion.
Nailed it

Look at the recent Oregon educational debacle (done in the dark, so to speak).

Yes. Here is a page with more information:

Virginia requires recall petitions to be signed by residents of the official's jurisdiction equal in number to 10% of the votes cast in the last election for that office. The number of signatures required on each petition is as follows:

Denise Corbo: 10,785
Beth Barts: 1,176
Brenda Sheridan: 803
Atoosa Reaser: 1,213
Ian Serotkin: 2,179
Leslee King: 1,234

If enough signatures are collected, a trial will be held at the circuit court level. At the trial, recall supporters must "demonstrate the officer engaged in neglect of duty, misuse of office, or incompetence in the performance."

And THIS coming from dolts whose automatic comeback when someone complains about what's going on in schools is, 'You don't even know what they're teaching!!!!' yet their go-to line when a teacher identifies himself as Christian is 'ohhh nooooes, they're shoving their religion down everyone's throats!!!!!!!!!!!!'

They are highly motivated.

Parent Rips Loudoun School Board: Your Ideology Is "Pure Garbage," My Kids Pronouns Are King and Queen

Apparently YouTube is blocking at these videos now, as this cannot be found there. YouTube (Owned by Google) is clearly not an agent of transparency or the truth. In fact, they are opponents of transparency and the truth.

This guy is enraged. You can hear it in his voice and in his words. There are many millions more who feel the same way. It is time to retaliate against these people, and it is good to see this gentleman taking the initiative to start the process towards doing that.
This is the best thing I've read in a long time. Every parent should have the same attitude. Let's see how long this b.s. will fly then.

Common sense middle ground is agreeing to call a kid he or she based on their preference but not extending it to mentally ill fantasies of "Zhe" or "cray cray bling bling" or any of a million 'pronouns'. We should not be enabling this lunacy - there are only 2 genders and that will never change

Kids cannot make up their own reality, school should be there to teach kids what reality is and provide a foundation for a stable life

I have no problem with the LGBTQ crowd but that's for me to teach my kids about and not the school. Forms I've seen recently ask if you identify as a....and a list is provided. Since when do we do this? If ten people identify as a horse, should that be added to the list?

If we weren't so abysmally behind in education compared to other countries, it wouldn't be so laughable, but these dopes think they can take time during the day to teach this as though it's the most important thing in preparing a student for the next grade.

I've had it. I'm glad my kids are grown, but I worry like hell about my grandchildren.

Well, good riddance! If she wants a job where she can push her religious beliefs, then she should get a job at a parochial school. Her leaving is good for everyone, including her.

that's part of what she said.

She also said, paraphrasing, that they were teaching in the training that "white women were in power and "that had to change. And thus you've told me that you don't value me."

Here’s the deal, these leftists currently in control of these schools..they don’t really believe in anything. This is more a game to them.
