Virginia
If women attend VMI, VMI's statue will change (not many men would want to attend anymore- experience would change).

Also, you can't force a religion onto people; people are allowed to believe what they believe in (that's a fundamental right and freedom).
First Amendment
First Amendment: Freedom of religion, speech, assembly, the press, etc.
