Terry McAuliffe has a segregationist vision for education

Terry McAuliffe revealed his racist ways on Sunday while campaigning for governor. While addressing a crowd in Manassas, Virginia, he stated his intentions to “diversify” those who are teachers in the state.

“We got to work hard to diversify our teacher base,” McAuliffe said. “Fifty percent of our students are students of color. Eighty percent of the teachers are white, so what I’m going to do for you — we’ll be the first state in America. If you go teach in Virginia for five years in a high-demand area — that could be geographic, it could be course work — we will pay room, board, tuition, any college, any university, or any HBCU (historically black colleges and universities) here in Virginia.”
