They didn’t want to move it. They were told by the thug Northam administration if they didn’t do it. That he would remove the alumni BOV and replace it with all non alums.
I think at that point they felt it was better to do it than to let others come in and totally destroy the school. I ‘ve believed for years the Dems know the elections are rigged in Virginia or they wouldn’t be this bold. They know most of the state is against things like this. The deep state thugs are carrying out agenda 21 to destroy American monuments. They’ve targeted Virginia because Virginia has the most and they ‘ve rigged elections.
