Virginia’s new attorney general tells the state’s public colleges to give that sleeping dog a good, swift kick:
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II has asked the state’s public colleges and universities to rescind policies that ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, arguing in a letter sent to each school Thursday that their boards of visitors have no legal authority to adopt such statements.
I didn’t follow the Va. elections, but folks who did tell me it was pretty clear that Gov. McDonnell and Cuccinelli were social conservatives mouthing moderate pabulum to get elected, and it would appear they were correct.
UPDATE: Here’s a surprise: Cuccinelli doesn’t know the law quite as well as he thinks he does.
