The debate about Confederate statues has a special resonance in Virginia, the former capital of the Confederacy. The question of whether Confederate statues should be removed from public property was asked in thePost-Schar School poll and the results reflected a racial divide. Overall, 31 percent of registered voters say monuments should be removed while 57 percent say they should be kept. But just 22 percent of white voters and 39 percent of voters who are neither black or white interpret the statues that way. They all agree that Confederate statues should not be removed, she said.
