Monuments or Memorials for Certain War Veterans “fast tracking of regulations”
 

I object to this fast-tracking of regulations that will govern contextualization of “Certain War Veterans’ Monuments and/or Memorials”.  

What a travesty this will be, because it will allow people with “WOKE” ideologies that most Virginians do not share to put up all sorts of monuments and memorials, quickly, and most will be based on emotion and current philosophy or political leanings.  

Please allow such regulations to go through the full 2 year vetting process, to allow for emotions/political trends to settle down or even pass by, and make room for common sense and rational thinking to be part of the process.  

Rational thinking should prevail, and time is necessary to make wise decisions.  Rushing most anything usually leads to more problems than solutions.  Thank you.
