The new law signed by Gov. Abigail Spanberger is the culmination of a long, Democrat-led push to distance Virginia from its Confederate past.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger of Virginia has signed into law a bill to end tax exemptions for a slate of Confederacy-related organizations in the state.

The signing by Ms. Spanberger on Monday is the culmination of a yearslong Democrat-led push to shake off the state’s legacy as the capital of the 11 Southern, slaveholding states that seceded from the country in the 1860s.

The new law’s most significant target is the United Daughters of the Confederacy, founded in 1894 for descendants of Confederates. The organization’s stated purpose is to honor the members’ ancestors through, among other things, working with homeless shelters, food banks and other civic groups. Throughout its history, the group built hundreds of Confederate memorials around the country, which have become flash points for protests over historical memory and racial injustices in the last decade.

I am PROUD and LOUD SON of THE SOUTH. My family settled in what is now Brinkley, Arkansas after the War of 1812. I am the son, grand son and great grand son of newspaper men who rebuilt the press after 1861, My Grandmother was a Daughter of the Confederacy. She was ALSO a racist. What the Governor of Virginia has done was a long time coming and I salute her for it.

why exactly were we giving tax breaks to groups celebrating literal traitors to the United States in the first place? The fact that it took until 2026 to put an end to this is absolutely insane

They weren't traitors. They were separatists.

No, I am asking why aren't you bothered when Somalis stole billions of dollars and funneled that money to terrorist organizations.

What the hell does your statement have to do with ending tax breaks for racist traitor organizations? We should be investigaing them for domestic terrorism.

Unconstitutional as it singles out the group due to the government not liking the content of the group's LEGAL activities.

Trump wants to end tax money given to antisemitic universities like Harvard, and leftists are complaining about it - and mocking any Jew who supports the case.

If you’re opposed to tax dollars funding racists, you should be opposed to tax dollars funding antisemites.

Just exposing leftist hypocrisy

Ive noted many times that those who gave arms to those who then saw to it that those arms were used against Americans should be tried for treason.

Sadly too many think that no matter what a CiC does, it should be supported.

On to the topic. What sorts of tax breaks do non profits get? What is there to tax to start with?

Jim Crow would like a word. As you are a Yankee, this discussion is not your place.

As an American this discussion is my place, so **** off on that shit.

does the CDA impose Jim Crow on people currently? Are they breaking any laws with their activities?
