Welcome to VA, Heather.

 

There are actually at least 2 meet-up groups in the area: the Tidewater Atheists Group and the Peninsula Skeptics. Despite the name, the Peninsula Skeptics is not restricted to residents of the peninsula (or to just atheists/agnostics, for that matter), as we have quite a bit of crossover membership between the two groups with members living on both sides of the water.

I finally got a job in Virginia! I'll be joining the Virginia Beach meetup soon... I suppose there aren't enough atheists in Suffolk for our own group.

Matt, that's cool and all, but I'd need more than a day's notice on something like that since I work during the day.

Wind Not Oil Rally in Virginia Beach!

https://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/423/p/salsa/event/common/publ...

We've seen the catastrophic consequences of offshore oil drilling. And we know that there is only six day’s worth of oil off Virginia’s coasts. Come out to Neptune's Park [MAP] off 31st Street this Friday, May 7th at 10:00am to tell Governor McDonnell that Virginians are NOT willing to sacrifice their coastline for six days of oil!

I fortunately missed them but apparently they'll be in Blacksburg this week. Apparently Jews are bad and VT's recent tragedies are god's punishment. I can't imagine being so hateful all the time.

Speaking of schools in VA, the Westboro Baptist loonies are coming to town and will be protesting at schools, Jewish centers/temples, and a few other places in Virginia Beach and Norfolk next week on Monday and Tuesday, 3/1 and 3/2.

I'll be an elementary school teacher in a few years, most likely it won't be in Virginia.

Comment by Aiden on February 23, 2010 at 7:51am

Primarily, we'll be losing a lot of teachers thanks to McDonnell. So class sizes are going to go up, which is only going to cause more stress for the remaining teachers, as larger classes are much more difficult to control, especially in high school.

Comment by Christian (ohh the irony) on February 23, 2010 at 6:58am

If you thought Bob Mcdonnell wasn't bad enough, maybe check out State Delegate (Manassas) Bob Marshall's comments...I'm not sure falling off a bridge would be enough for this man: http://politicalwire.com/archives/2010/02/22/legislator_blames_disa...
