Everything Trump touches dies, but my MAGAt Shenandoah County VA school board is resurrecting the Lost Cause and the Confederacy, with cheers from the racist stay-heres and Trumpian come-heres who've found their marks. We're having a very bad day.

Yeah, I read about that. Regarding the rural south, Faulkner was right: "the past never dies. It's not even past."

I know you are and I understand there is already a groundswell among activists in Shenandoah County to reverse the racist renaming of the schools. I wish you all luck.

The move by the Shenandoah County school board was returning to the Lost Cause bullsh*t. The real fact is the both Robert E. Lee and Turner Ashby were traitors. I grew up in eastern NC in the 60's and 70's. Only as an adult have I learned some of the real history of the state and the country. It wasn't pretty. Mostly mythology, being cloaked as history, has been taught in school.
