A Hanover County School Board member who voted to change the names of two schools honoring Confederate leaders has lost her seat on the board.
Marla Coleman, who represents the Henry District on the county School Board, will not serve a second term after the county Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Wednesday to appoint longtime federal government worker George E. Sutton to the post rather than Coleman.
The Board of Supervisors member who opted against renominating Coleman said Coleman’s lack of support for keeping the names of Lee-Davis High School and Stonewall Jackson Middle School wasn’t the reason she was ousted.
“I make decisions based on qualifications — not politics,” said Sean Davis, the Henry District representative on the Board of Supervisors.

About FREAKING time VIRGINIANS stood the F**K UP for their heritage. Good or BAD ITS HISTORY. The blacks NEVER STOP reminding us of their poor mishaps of being sold by their OWN TRIBES.
