After serving his two terms as President, the [[atheistic]] [[Thomas Jefferson]] returned home to [[Virginia]] in hopes of building a University. Jefferson started drawing his plans for the school, and built ten houses that he called pavilions. The school was founded in 1819, and in March of 1825 the University of Virginia opened its doors to 123 students.

Today the students of the University of Virginia live by an Honor Code that was created over two hundred years ago. The students used to sign the Honor Pledge before taking a test, or writing a paper as a promise that they had not, or would not cheat. However in actuality the Honor system is very lax as a result of [[ Liberal]] infiltration, and does not reprimand [[illegal]], under-age drinking, [[drug use]], etc.

The University of Virginia has in recent years become a bastion of liberalism for the commonwealth of Virginia. Although underage drinking is regretably common at many universities, the liberal culture at Virginia has embraced their alcoholism and nicknamed themselves the Wahoo's, a fish that can drink 3 times its weight, alluding to their prevalent use of illegal under-age alcohol consumtion. University professors have been investigated by conservative Attorney General, [[Ken Cuccinelli]], who has demanded the seizure of documents from several professors relating to the notorious liberal scandal, [[Climategate]]. <ref>[http://www.dailyprogress.com/cdp/news/local/article/attorney_general_demands_papers_on_climate_data_from_uva/55634/P20/]</ref> . The liberal, atheistic culture of the University of Virginia most likely contributed to the murder of a female lacrosse player.
