Political signs

To the Editor:

 In the seemingly endless run-up to last November’s election, my neighborhood was cluttered with yard signs supporting the former president and members of his cult running for local offices. While I may have saluted those signs with an occasional rude gesture, I would never have considered stealing them. That’s just not done. 

But, it was done by some who seem to have lived in fear of school board candidates who favored reality-based sex education and safe return to the classroom.

Ashley Carson Cottingham signs, in particular, were targeted by thieves.

Apparently, she was considered a major threat to the tightly wound opposition. 

Pretty small, sign thieves, pretty small.
