Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin outlines new legislation he proposed in light of the ongoing school awards controversy, which would require schools to alert students who receive an award.
"There clearly is a real suggestion that their civil rights have been violated. And we need to understand what's at the heart of this," Youngkin said on "American Reports" Wednesday. Madeline Coggins is a Digital Production Assistant on the Fox News flash team with Fox News Digital.
