82. What an embarrassment to our state this is.
This is the result of a request from a bunch of crackpots in southside Virginia who have been asking VA governors to recognize April as their "Confederate History Month" (or whatever they call it) for the past several administrations.

It is noteworthy that they have only succeeded in getting this request granted from the Republican Governors. The two previous Democratic govs (Warner and Kaine) took a lot of heat, but I was really proud of both of them to deny the request.

I know it's easy to generalize about all of us, but please, please believe me, not all Virginians are this backward and racist.
