Virginia Military Institute's top official resigned Monday, a week after Gov. Ralph Northam announced an investigation into the school's culture and policies following reports of racism that received national attention.
Retired Army Gen. J.H. Binford Peay III submitted his resignation letter as superintendent, which the board of visitors accepted "with deep regret," board President John Boland said in a statement.
In his resignation letter to the president of the board of visitors, Peay wrote that Gov. Northam’s chief of staff, Clark Mercer, informed him on Friday that “the governor and certain legislative leaders had lost confidence in my leadership as Superintendent of the Virginia Military Institute and desired my resignation. Therefore, effective today, 26 October 2020, I hereby resign.”
Peay served as superintendent of the state-supported military college for more than 17 years.
"General Peay is a great American, patriot, and hero," Boland said. "He has profoundly changed our school for the better in all respects."

Northam is a real pig.
0bama did the same.
Non-politically correct leaders need not apply for vacancies at VMI.
Governor Blackface knows a thing or two about racism.
Gov. Blackface Babykiller is doing the bidding of Burning Looting Mobs.
Betcha Northam does not wear a black covid mask so as not to be mistaken for the blackface he is so fond of as his cosmetic fashion statement of choice
[redacted]
And didn’t have the grace or guts to make the call himself, he had his Chief of Staff do it. Cowardice.
Lower than whale feces.
If this doesn't tell you what the agenda of the Nazi Democrats REALLY is, then nothing will.
Right after the Northam blackface story first broke, someone here predicted that Northam would go uber-PC to win back his liberal base.
That Freeper sure was right.
Death by paper-bullet. An ignominious way for a general to end his career. I’m sure that Gov. Northam’s standard of proof of the charges of racism are pretty low.
VMI should cut their ties to the state. Just MI from now on.
Gotta ‘love’ these LIBs...
A PROVEN racist dispatches a person for being a Racist
A PROVEN liar admonishes a Supreme Court nominee on the perils of lying.
A PROVEN plagiarist daily admonishes us ALL on integrity
In a ‘just’ world ALL of them would/should have resigned in disgrace
Then again, what does this say about ‘us’ continuing to reelect the same trash - on both sides of the aisle.
I am still waiting for the list of people who had used the ‘disgrace slush fund’ set up for the Pols.
The governor probably has a black already on the shelf and ready to be nominated. Anyone have two-bits they want to wager??

Right. This liberal cancel-culture thing does more than get people fired. It ruins their reputations. Gen. Peay will now have this hanging over his head for the rest of his life.
We are now living in something akin to Brezhnev’s Soviet Union. If you are suspected of doing something non-PC, that won’t get you shot (yet). But it will destroy your career and your reputation.
But the Soviet elite often got a pass. Just like our liberal elite often get a pass.
Well, there are those who say the people get the government they deserve.
What was his alleged ‘racism?’
