Leaders are called to a higher standard, and the stain of racism should have no place in the halls of government. The Governor of Virginia should step aside so the public can heal and move forward together.

That's a no brainer. What I don't get is this -- that yearbook was published in 1984. My yearbook would never have allowed such a picture to be printed, and I'm older than Northam. And this was a medical school. I hope they also come under scrutiny for tolerating,or having tolerated, this kind of overt and repulsive racism.
