In a bizarre and unexpected move, a Texas school district has banned the Virginia state flag due to its portrayal of a naked breast, raising eyebrows and questions about educational boundaries.

The Virginia state flag, featuring the Roman goddess Virtus with an exposed breast, has sparked controversy in various contexts. In 2010, Virginia's Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli distributed lapel pins depicting a modified version of the state seal, covering Virtus's breast with an armored breastplate, aiming to make the image more "PG." This move was met with criticism for altering a classical depiction. Similarly, in 2019, activist Michelle Renay Sutherland was arrested for indecent exposure after recreating the flag's image during a protest for the Equal Rights Amendment, highlighting ongoing debates over the flag's imagery and its place in modern society.
