Texas school district bans a history lesson about Virginia’s state flag because it has nudity

The Augusta County-based singer Scott Miller has a kick-butt song about Sam Houston, who grew up in Rockbridge County and then moved west to play such an instrumental role in Texas becoming independent of Mexico that he got a major city named after him.

When I saw Miller perform in Roanoke a few years ago, he introduced the song “Say Ho” by noting that he occasionally tours in Texas because, as a Virginian, he considered it his duty to check up on the state that Houston and many other Virginians played a role in creating.
