Limit flags on public buildings

On June 5, the Daily Herald published a story about Mount Prospect officials wisely limiting the flags allowed on village flagpoles. Only the United States, State of Illinois and Mount Prospect village flags are approved. They do this to avoid political conflicts and potential lawsuits.

Unfortunately, the Palatine Library does not adhere to this practice. Recently, the library has been flying a political multicolored “pride” flag. One of the political agendas advocated by this flag is the transsexual demand that biological males be allowed to participate in female sports.

It seems odd that the Palatine library board would display this flag and any other political flags that it deems appropriate. As a taxpayer-funded institution, it should only proudly display the United States, State of Illinois and village of Palatine flags.

I urge taxpayers to contact the Palatine Library and express their opinions on this subject.
