In reply to the discussion: This Is TRULY Outrageous & It REALLY Pisses Me Off! [View all]mike dub
(541 posts)37. I'm not too surprised, either, rightsideout.
And expanding on your comment: the larger "border state" to the west and south of Delaware, Maryland, offers drivers the choice of having the Confederate flag on their Maryland license plate (Sons of Confederate Veterans). So, the fact that you saw that flag in several places in southern Delaware doesn't seem totally shocking to me.
And nice post/catch by the OP. I only understand a little bit of Spanish, but when I actually read the Spanish sign, even I could tell that it had a completely different meaning than the English sign.

And also, for the record, Delaware was a slave state but declined to secede.

How can a town/city get away with putting up a sign like that? They should be sued class action,

Okay, professionally. What I'm getting at is who paid to have these made up and set up at the park?

Done with tax dollars, in any case, unless this is a private park? Since I'm not there, IDK.

It seems that my guess yesterday (post 49) was correct and that this was a simple screw-up.

From the Kos story, here's a sign where it says the same thing in English and Spanish

Or more likely just grabbed the Spanish "field" sign instead of the Spanish "playground" sign (nt)

Totally fake. Look at the relative sizes of the sign and the equipment behind it.
