Virginia is for... puritans: The fight over sex, nudity, and the First Amendment
All over Virginia, there are women hanging around government buildings brazenly baring their breasts. In libraries, assembly halls, even inside the DMV, the naked bosoms are downright unavoidable. The ubiquitous nudity can even be found in the schools, out in the open, in front of children as young as six years old. And there's one woman behind it all.
She is known simply as Virtue, and while she may not be a household name, hers is clearly the Commonwealth's most memorable mammary. She's the triumphant woman on the state flag, her left foot atop an anonymous king's dead body, her left hand clutching a sword, and her left breast fully exposed.
