Gov. Youngkin defends school tip line as educational groups call for it to be shut down

FILE - Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, signs an executive order establishing K through 12 lab schools while surrounded by children and educators at the Capitol, Jan. 27, 2022, in Richmond, Va. In his opening days, the new governor issued executive orders methodically ticking off his top campaign promises that effectively banned classroom mask mandates, aimed to restrict how students are taught about racism, approved an investigation into a wealthy suburban Washington school district that's become a national symbol for battles over so-called parents rights and attempted to scrap a carbon-limiting initiative meant to combat climate change.
