VMFA: “We have installed permanent plaques that discuss the significance
and history of the site. The texts were reviewed by the Department of
Historic Resources, Charlie Bryan, Waite Rawls, and Ed Ayers to ensure
that the information we presented was accurate."
Va Flaggers: Firstly, the installation of such signage would be expected, considering the historical significance of the Chapel and the grounds. What would not be expected, is that the act of doing so would somehow be used as a discussion point to take the spotlight off of the removal of the Confederate Battle Flags from the Confederate War Memorial. Does one act somehow nullify the immorality and illegality of the other?
Secondly, a cursory glance by one of our Flaggers revealed that VMFA officials might want to reconsider their choice of “experts” in the future.
