A Texas school district removed educational information about the state of Virginia last year due to the state’s flag and seal. The flag depicts the Roman goddess Virtus standing over a slain tyrant, and her left breast is exposed. The Lamar Consolidated Independent School District apparently censored the flag because it violated the school board’s library policy, which bans “illustrations of frontal nudity.” The flag depicted Virtus fully clothed from 1776 to 1901, when officials changed the design to depict her as more clearly female.
