Safety sign taken down because of "trigger"

Sure, a sign about COVID is different. I'm just saying traffic signs need to be direct and to the point. They can't be too long and vague about intent or controversial. They should be purely instructional.

You know, now because I bring up a non-PC question for discussion, I'm going to forever have a target on my back with an disingenuous and erroneous label. Goes to prove: Don't ask questions.

Don't worry about it. Vlad, Russell and others are ALM. Erica and the liberals are BLM. I'm kind of in the middle. I like posters to be passionate and have ardent debates.

I'm in the middle as well but somehow people skip over the times I defend the BLM side or the middle. Or when I simply ask a question about inclusion, that'll get twisted.
What I don't appreciate is people rushing to immediate judgment when someone simply asks questions, or isn't radical in one direction or the other.

More oppression from the totalitarian Radical Left. These assholes will never run out of things to be offended by. And it's because they hate this country and want to destroy it.
MAGA! FAFO!

That's what I'd think, and it's just one damn road sign. It's three words as part of a longer phrase.
My question remains: Are we to suggest that moving forward, those three words cannot be placed together, that somehow they will forever be, for lack of a better word, patented, and simply verboten. They're just words, and in this one simple case, on a street sign, of caution, trying to protect people.
In my case, I'm accused of trying to troll or feigning innocence, which the truth is I just don't see evil intent everywhere I turn or maliciousness at every corner behind every word. Sometimes, words are just words.

Personally, I think that the sign should get completely reworded. At the same time though, I don’t see where the outrage is coming from. It’s just a missing letter, lol.
