That's a big negatory. DC could year up an anvil with a rubber mallet.
WVHokie84 • 03/30/24 07:38 PM ET
No one wants to get into this from both parties
DMV Gobbler • 03/30/24 06:49 PM ET

MrBayAreaHokie • 03/30/24 03:20 PM ET
I would say no because the politicians understand that there is a chance

Time will tell if the courts do end up ruling that way or if schools will
VTHokie2000 • 03/30/24 04:21 PM ET

I don't think any school wants any part of a mess like that.**
