Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin made an appearance at Liberty University on Friday morning to give a speech taking aim at critical race theory, anti-police sentiment, and divisive politics.
Youngkin encouraged students to acknowledge a duality in political topics.
“We can teach all of our history in our schools — the good and the bad, all of it,” he said. “And we can remove divisive concepts from the classroom where students are taught that they’re inherently racist because of their race or religion or sex or that they bear the sins of the past.”

The Virginia governor told the crowd that “we can support law enforcement” while “we can embrace reconciling lack of faith and trust.”
“It’s not an ‘or’ moment. It’s an ‘and’ moment,” he said.
Youngkin ended his speech by leading the room in prayer for the students to ponder whether or not they would also join public service.
When Liberty University President Jerry Prevo introduced the governor, he noted that three Virginia governors, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and John Tyler, went on to become presidents of the United States.

“This might be the future for the man that you are about to hear today,” Prevo said, referring to Youngkin.
