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.
