We’ve still got your flag, assholes

Breaking News: A Virginia school board voted to restore the names of Confederate officers to two schools, four years after they were dropped.

Schools in One Virginia County to Reinstate Confederate Nameswww.nytimes.com The school board voted on Friday to reverse a decision made four years ago, when the killing of George Floyd prompted nationwide demands for a racial reckoning, to rename the schools.

I sincerely love how, every time Virginia has asked for Minnesota to return the regimental colors, Minnesota’s response has basically been “Come and take them.”

Alas, there are always more. Unfortunately, I attended this high school under its previous--and now restored--name. Note the upper right of this gym photo from back then. 🙄

And, as I recall, they are still whining about wanting it back. Bad news - you’re never getting it back.

Why does their school look like a Discount Tire Co.?

Lee was a colonel, Jackson a brevet major, and Ashby a civilian.

they name change lasted as long as the confederacy itself
