Liberals sure are strange.
Being Massachusetts I’m surprised they’re not trying to force the private property owner to bend to their will.
My guess is they have tried just that, but the owner, not surprisingly, told them to eff off.
Still, why is it nobody seems to explain to these communists what the CBF really stands for? But then again that wouldn’t cut any ice with them, as tyranny is part and parcel of the Bay State anyway.
This is not a legitimate use of taxpayer dollars - but I’m sure the Walpole Massholes on the “School Committee” don’t care about that...

I was born and raised in the South but spent several years in Mass while in the military. Anti-black racism in New England is many times worse than down home.
The team mascot is The Rebel, but is now being changed to The Fabulists.
I’ve heard about their hypocrisy before (mostly about the Boston area).
The flag is a rigid frame between two trees that can be moved to other trees and avoid the banner. I hope the guy who owns it bleeps with the city on game days.
Boston, however, was (and still is) full of racist white liberals, complaining about how evil The South was/is...
Yet another reason why ‘Masshole’ was just added to the Oxford-English dictionary.
Waaahhhh... the media will call us wacists!
