Overview

• Lamar Consolidated Independent School District in Texas removed Virginia's state flag from its online curriculum for elementary students.
• The decision was based on a newly adopted policy banning visual depictions of frontal nudity in elementary school materials.
• The flag features the Roman goddess Virtus, depicted with a partially exposed breast, symbolizing virtue triumphing over tyranny.
• The flag’s imagery has been a part of Virginia's state symbol since 1861, with a redesign in 1931 emphasizing classical nudity.
• The removal was implemented in lessons delivered via the PebbleGo Next platform, with no reported appeals or reversals of the decision.
