“We are thrilled to have Mary join the ACLU of Virginia team,” said Stephen M. Levinson, president of the ACLU of Virginia Board of Directors. “Mary is an experienced executive director, and has served in multiple roles during her career, including legal director, advocacy director and professor. She has deep roots in the Commonwealth that will serve us well.”

The Southern York County School Board made the right decision to retire the district’s Indian warhead logo.
It certainly wasn’t a popular one for many in our community who voiced their preference in a survey to retain the logo. Although 60 percent surveyed also indicated that we should consider Indian perspectives in our decision.
I can tell you that it wasn’t a foregone conclusion for the board. Frankly, I had no idea the motion would pass until we got to roll call.
