If you read Spanish you need a permit — or the cops may get you

From Dan Gaffney’s Facebook page

Feast your eyes on the sign at the left, recently removed from a playground in Delaware. Oh how clever those Mexican-hating “public servants” can be.

The translation for the Spanish portion: “You must have a permit to play in this field. Violators will be subject to police action.”

Raw Story has more:

Milford School District Superintendent Dr. Phyllis Kohel told Delaware Online that she immediately took action to remove the sign on Sunday afternoon.

“I didn’t want to wait,” she explained. “I certainly assume there was not an intent to discriminate… We have a great working relationship with all of the communities at the school, and there is absolutely an understanding that no ethnic group will be discriminated upon.”

Wilmington Councilwoman Maria Cabrera called for an investigation into how the signs could have been up for a year.

The story was broken by a conservative radio-show host, Dan Gaffney. Good for him!
