After 234 years of statehood, Mass. panel unanimously ditches ‘non-PC’ state seal, motto

Leftist Massachusetts bows at the altar of tribal political correctness, eliminates old emblems, in place since 1896 as “racist”

Except for the anomaly of electing a Republican governor, now serving his second term, (formally addressed as ‘His Excellency‘) who ran on the same “getting stuff done“ mantra as Arizona’s democrat U. S. Sen. Krysten Sinema, the state/commonwealth of Massachusetts is solid blue. Other officeholders, including the Attorney General elected in 2014 and the Secretary of State (in office for 27 years and running for reelection); incredibly face no term limits. Democrats also fill every House and Senate seat in the state legislature, ensuring all the leadership posts are held by the same party.

It is against this backdrop that we bring our readers this headlined report, “Special commission backs new state seal and motto for Massachusetts,” from GBH, a far left, publicly funded, network akin to KAET/PBS.

Massachusetts was the 6^th state to ratify the Constitution on February 6, 1788 — 234 years ago. Today The special commission charged with reviewing and possibly revamping Massachusetts’s official state seal and motto officially voted unanimously this week to recommend that both be replaced.

Brian Weeden is co-chairman of the commission and chairman of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe. He is feeling a “racis”t sting, as he states, “It’s a reminder of the oppression and the genocide that was caused to the Indigenous people. As we know, here in the commonwealth is where the English and the Pilgrims landed, first on Cape Cod out here in Wampanoag territory, and then further inland to Plymouth, which is also Wampanoag territory.

“After the English got here … a lot of the Indigenous people out here in the Northeast were kind of the guinea pigs. They were able to assimilate us, forced Christianity upon us…”

History, now regarded as transitory, is easily eradicated if it doesn’t march in lockstep with today’s version of politically correct thinking. This fact-filled version of the background of the state seal and motto is interesting reading. It’s newly updated but historically based, rather than agenda-driven.

Will the Bible be next to go? The banishment of Adam and Eve (representing all of humankind) from Eden for disobedience, was the first of many punishments that could be considered overly harsh by the newly empowered PC crowd.
