Resident hangs explicit political sign across street from elementary school playground

[Sherman A1]

NICKELSVILLE, Va. (WCYB) — School officials roped off half of the playground at a Virginia elementary school in an effort to keep students from seeing an explicit political sign that a resident hung right across the street.

Nickelsville Elementary School officials reached out to the sheriff's department and town officials to see if they have any power to have the sign disparaging President Joe Biden taken down, but they have no legal recourse. So the school reached out to the property owner to see if they can force the tenant to remove the sign.

The school will put up a privacy screen around the playground fence that's going to cost $200. It was expected to be installed by Friday.

"My message to him would be to please open your Bible," said Linda Cantrell, a neighbor. "Take care of your children and grandchildren and our future to come because that's what we depend on and Nickelsville is our future. And please protect our children. And right now he's not protecting our children. He's allowing this to escalate."

1. Such a touch for a class act!

2. There's a sign like that in my area

On a house across the street from an ice cream shop where many families with kids go. You can’t miss it.

In the above case, the purveyor of that sign should be given the bill for the $200 privacy fence.

3. I saw the same message on an overpass last week in Richmond

From what I could see it was a pickup truck with flags and a roadside message board probably on a trailer. Let’s Go Brandon and F JOE Biden in yellow lights. The message board was probably 8’x6’.
