Virginia elected a Governor who campaigned on parents' rights (to censor) after his opponent made a foot-in-mouth statement that parents shouldn't be telling schools what to teach. As Governor, he has worked on keeping that promise. Last spring the ...

About twenty years ago an organization then called World Church of the Creator booked the meeting room in the Tabb Library in Yorktown, Virginia.  I had a couple of long phone conversations with the then director.  First, there was no way to keep them out and still have a public meeting room.  (Tabb ...
