I know that the law is the law and all that. And yes, I do realize that "legally" Commonwealth of VA agencies are technically bound to the mindless bigotry that the law still represents, but seriously? Do we have to advertise it? My opinion is not one of a liberal (though generally I am one), but of a fiscal conservative (yes, sometimes I am one of those too).
Education is one of the most liberal areas of personnel in our state. It relies on the ability to draw the best and brightest minds in faculty, students and researchers to develop new technologies and ideas that can be monetized, and frankly, many of those minds are far more open than those of our legislature. You don't have to like it, you just have to recognize you can profit from it!
You would think that the AG would be aware of how much impact bringing in new ideas and technology would have on the Commonwealth seeing as how he's from Northern Virginia. Yet here he is pushing his decidedly right wing religious agenda, despite the potential effects on our economy - and the Right Governor is cheering him right along, with all of the legislature hiding in the wings, knowing they could fix it.
I find myself wondering, does anyone actually think taking a stand on this position, right now, is best for our Commonwealth's economy?
