Virginia is a lost cause now. It will have to be re-conquered after the war.
Did’t Virginia just go full Hugo Chavez in the election?
Remember those losers sitting by themselves in the dorm?
They’re now running the campus and the world apparently.
Is there nothing Leftists don’t ruin?
Every snowflake demand is always met. Every last one of them. There is never any pushback. That’s really amazing. And very sad.
WTF!?
what an Ah*le to cancel the salute to our veterans!
D*mn! He doesn’t belong on the public payroll!
Does anyone care if we vets care about our past ans our rituals?
Oh please. I worked at a large university. Every Veteran's Day, they fired the cannon at noon. Every year, the week before, all staff, faculty, and students received an email reminding them that they were going to fire the cannon. No issues with disrupting anything.
The news is beyond parody nowadays.
Here’s hoping Tony Bennett, the UVA B-ball mens coach is sickened by this. He’s a decent man so I would imagine he is
I can envision a squad of Chinese soldiers storming a U.S. elementary school, firing their weapons as they charge. The snowflake teachers and the kids all stand up at their desks, immobilized by the constant pacification of two generations of media propaganda, and school propaganda. They don’t last long as perfect targets. When it was over the Chinese soldiers found they had enough ammo to go on to another school ...
Why DON’T we have gun education in middle / high school?
Reminds me of fifty years ago when, after the murder of Bobby Kennedy, the anti-violence hysteria spread throughout the USA.
One university had their Track and Field team do away with “violence” by banning the starting gun.
A mural painted of Harriet Tubman back then showed her carrying a rifle because handguns were “bad” and they did not want to associate her with handguns. To my knowledge, he was not known to carry a rifle, always a handgun.

People need to light the phones up at UVA to let them know!
“As you might imagine – the outrage among veterans and military supporters has been severe.”
...and that outrage needs to go beyond today.
To state the obvious, during WWI millions lived and died under heavy artillery fire, machinegun and rifle fire, etc., sometimes for a period of years. Today’s youth* cannot handle hearing 21 blank shots in remembrance of their suffering and service. This ought to be a “teachable moment” at UVA, but I doubt it will.
*I plead guilty of gross generalization. My hope is that most students have more strength and character than their “student government leaders” (Hillary Rodham wannabees elected by a tiny fraction of students).
The RPMs that Thomas Jefferson is undergoing in his grave keep increasing.
4 in my family went to UVA, and this disgusts me. Minimize classroom disruption? Poor snowflakes!
Who are these unstable people?
Are there any normal left?
One sad and also proud moment was when my mom and I accepted the folded flag and shell casings from when my dad was interred at the National Cemetery in Riverside CA.
Eight years on, my son still wears one of the shell casings on a chain around his neck, along with dad's dog tags.
Like the Univ. can’t make email announcements, announcements via cell phones, posters, etc to let students know in advance.
What BS
