You are telling me you want to de-fund people in Virginia for honoring Lee!?!? WTF Nix.
You need to understand that while yes there are racist neo-confederate douchebags, they are in the minority. For most people in the south it is simply honoring their heritage and keeping history alive. Southern folk are largely a people of tradition, and honoring their fallen ancestors, and romanticized leaders like Lee or Stonewall Jackson is part of that tradition. To ban southern people celebrating their history is like Mexico's past attempts to stamp out religion, it will be met with anger and quite possibly violence, strengthening the resolve and influence of the very bigots you are aiming this at.
