Washington and Lee University Bars Sons of Confederate Veterans from Entering Chapel
Washington and Lee University ends a longtime tradition in the name of political correctness:
The Stonewall Brigade of the Sons of Confederate Veterans has been denied access to Lee Chapel at Washington and Lee University, ending a longtime tradition of the group to commemorate Lee-Jackson Day where Confederate General Robert E. Lee is buried.
The decision was made in August by President Kenneth Ruscio, who cited inflammatory messages some in the group made toward the university after the school removed the Confederate flag from the main chapel.
