I just read the article by EMMA Duncan where she counters the stereotypes

Wahoos have of Hokies. Where the article states that "Virginia Tech students are hillbillies and rednecks" that is presented as the perception UVa students have of Hokies which Ms. Duncan counters very effectively. You either didn't read the article or misread it. Link below"
