(TOWNHALL) – In a woke hypocrisy, the State Board of Community Colleges in Richmond, Virginia, is changing the name of Patrick Henry Community College. A month after the announcement, however, Gov. Ralph Northam recognized the Founding Father in a proclamation, designating June 29 as Patrick Henry Day.
From a May 20 press release from the board: "In updating its college naming policy, the Board agreed college names “Should reflect the values of inclusive and accessible education articulated in the VCCS mission statement, with special emphasis on diversity, equity, and opportunity, and be relevant to the students it seeks to serve and to the geography of its service region.”
"... Further, The Board unanimously voted to direct Patrick Henry Community College and Dabney S. Lancaster Community College leaders and local boards to reconsider their previous decision to retain their college’s name following the state policy change."
