Dang. You're fast.

After hearing that, I checked to see if anyone else had posted this...no...and then while I was typing my post about it, you posted.

EVMS put out a statement saying it was a student project. They’re distancing themselves from the situation.

Fun fact I had surgery by an EVMS physician last week. It’s a great local asset I’m shocked by this.

Of course. Just reporting what I heard the governor did. I agree, that won't be the end of it.

If the med school didn't have anyone in administration proofreading yearbooks before they went into publication, then they wouldn't know the contents. Do you know for sure what happened? Did admin know and approved of it? Or was it up to the students to police themselves? AFAIK, I haven't seen these questions answered anywhere. If you have a link, please post it.
Actually you're the one who seems to be pretzeling to try to come up with a plausible reason for why a school would have such a photo in their yearbook. To me, it seems really odd that a school in 1984 would have had no oversight of a yearbook. That poster was just trying to explain how things were for them in that time period; they weren't excusing Northam. Why you need to argue that down into the ground and tell someone their experience was wrong is a little odd and aggressive.

Nothing new here. Democrats/liberals have been dressing up in black face and wearing their KKK outfits for over a hundred years and this guy is only a governor. No biggy. Hahaha.....silly hypocrites.

And why are you attempting to argue with me? I haven't said a word to you up to now.

BTW, show me where I said her experience was "wrong". I never used those words. "Pretzeling" myself just by asking a legit question? If you have a link that explains what happened with the yearbook, please post it.

Otherwise, no need to say anything more.

Why do people do such idiotic stuff such as this? How distasteful.
