I think the Virginia flag is appropriate. The U. S. flag would not be, since Lee never had his citizenship reinstated after the war.

Absolutely. I hate that the president of the school caved into political correctness.

Lee was by all accounts a first-rate and honorable man. Few people of any stripe dispute that. Lincoln, Stanton, Grant, Sherman...almost all admired him.

His citizenship was restored in the 1980s.
