So I thought this was a BS shitpost, but then saw a bunch of MSM coverage about it.
So there's a commission that selected this, but to any Minnesotans in here: is this actually scheduled to really happen, or is it just some stupid commission and PR thing?
Yep. This isn't BS. Scheduled to happen. Not sure when in 2024...but the great seal of Minnesota state flag will be retired. Been in papers last month as they worked their way through entries. Most people's response has been "why are we doing this?" and "Who's stupid idea was it to do this?" Current flag had a farmer on it and an American Indian riding horseback. Some white person decided the American Indian riding on the flag was insulting to Native Americans rather than honoring their history within the state. Now our flag will be some generic milque toast crap.

Thanks for filling me in. Wow, that mind virus is deeper into the country than I ever thought. What a load of bull.
This is the first I've heard of it, but nothing would surprise me when it comes to the political leaders in this state.
