Released in theaters nationwide Aug. 8, the movie “Weapons” features the story of 17 children disappearing without a trace into the night. Through shaky security footage from each of the 17 homes in the town of Maybrook, Pa. the children are seen leaving their beds at 2:17 a.m. and running out their front doors into the dark. What’s odd is that the children don’t appear to be afraid or panicked. They simply run with both arms out, almost as if they appear to be spreading wings, setting the tone for the eerie and unsettling film.

In recent weeks, the Virginia Senate’s Privileges and Elections Committee blocked another slate of appointees for Boards of Visitors across our state.

This present predicament is a reflection of broader systemic issues within the statewide governing board confirmation process, issues that can and must be fixed. In an environment where systemic procedural problems have impaired the stability of our universities, it is clear that changes to the appointment process must be made.

The upcoming Virginia gubernatorial election holds significance, as it is the first in the state where both major party candidates are women. In addition to this, it represents a litmus test for public opinion of the Trump presidency so far. In Virginia, Republican Party opponents have accused Democratic candidate Abigail Spanberger of having policies that threaten capitalism. The mischaracterization of economic policy has been used by politicians in the United States to make voters perceive candidates based on fear of labels rather than their proposed policies. Incorrect messaging about economic policies will continue to impact states with key elections coming up like Virginia. Regardless of the merits of policies, the mischaracterization of policies as threatening capitalism functions to prevent voters from making fact-based decisions and will lead them to base their voting decisions on biased sources. Education is the answer to this problem.
