So hey when the Klansmen come to town & tell you that you cant celebrate Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, WEB DuBois,

Thats literally their position since time immemorial.

Your decision to comply is what is new.

That is what has changed here.

Dont care if its Jackson Elementary or the Maryland National (Apparently now Confederate) Guard.

Oh gods, I hadn't seen that.

C'mon Maryland, you're cool in so many ways and there are like a million opportunities for malicious compliance here.

Strict guidance from the national defense department crushed plans for a parade held in honor of Frederick Douglass’ 207th birthday because it was being held during Black History Month.

Like, double, TRIPLE down on celebrating Douglass but do it March 1st. "Nope, no Black History Month here! Them thar's Maryland history!" And maybe have a separate February parade for some white abolitionist and be like "Apparently we're allowed to say his name in February."
