They didn't ban it. They removed it from their curriculum. They felt that state policy demanded it. There have been multiple versions of the seal and many of them do not depict the character with an exposed breast.

Most of the ones with the breasts covered were before the Civil War. In 1875, the seal exposed both breasts. Of the several versions after that, I believe only hte 1904 version covered both breasts. The current design dates to 1912 and was made official in 1950, although the description in the Code of Virginia (§1-500) makes no mention of Virtus' breast being exposed.
While Virtus has one breast exposed on the obverse, Libertas, Aeternitas, Ceres are fully clothed on the reverse.
Not banned, just expurgated then?
That seems a perineum of difference.

I understand the words thank you and I dare say my grandchildren are likely older than yours.
You certainly don't act like it. Is this assertion supposed to grant you credibility or turn your argument from nonsense into reason? It fails to do so.
People like you are the worst. Rather than engage in any constructive thought or debate, you entitle yourself to the mode of an arrogant bully, and simply refuse to engage. When challenged you devolve to gate keeping.
Disgusting. I hope none of this has rubbed off on your grandchildren.
