Virginia’s Chief Diversity Officer Martin D. Brown’s comments highlight a growing trend of dismissing the value of diversity not only in the commonwealth, but also all across the United States.

About 90% of the benefits from Biden's plan will go to families earning less than $75,000 according to the White House, but a group of Republican-led states have sued to block it.
Under the new plan, borrowers who earn less than roughly $30,600 a year would owe $0 a month on their federal student loans, effectively pausing them. A borrower who’s in a family of four and makes less than roughly $62,400 would also see their payments paused.
