In Albemarle County, as in most Virginia school divisions, there are policies in place to prevent political indoctrination of students.

Occupy Charlottesville (OC), a group that intentionally and needlessly defied curfew and permit laws in advocacy of “free speech” now has censored its own, and in doing so, has created an internal uproar.
