ST. PAUL – Republican Party of Minnesota officials have launched an online petition drive, urging Democrats to abandon their push to replace the state flag and seal with new designs.
Minnesota GOP Chairman David Hann is looking at the current flag design and says there’s nothing about that design that is racist. It’s got a picture of somebody plowing a field and it’s got a picture of somebody that is a Native person riding a horse. “It’s not racist.”
Some members of the special flag-and-seal commission strongly disagree. The new designs they selected become official in May unless the legislature intervenes.
