Glenn Youngkin, including one that was designed to eliminate teaching of critical race theory in K-12 schools.The committee also killed a bill that would have made it easier to create charter schools in districts that perform poorly on math and reading.Education reform has been a key part of Youngkin's agenda, but Democrats hold a narrow 21-19 advantage in the Senate. Republicans had held out some hope that the Senate Education and Health Committee, which has several moderate Democrats, would provide bipartisan support to parts of Youngkin's agenda.
