Signaling, yes. Virtue signaling is something else, at least to the extent it means anything at all beyond someone expressing an opinion with which the other person disagrees.

BS, Information Systems concentration, Charter Oak State College
MA in Educational Technology Leadership, George Washington University
18+ doctoral level credits in Ed Leadership and in Business Admin
