Should Massachusetts Change Its Flag?

There are multiple debates over state flags here in New England.

In Maine, the state legislature made a recent push to change their flag.

And here in Massachusetts activists and a group of state lawmakers are arguing to change our own state flag, say that its imagery is offensive.

Both the Maine and Massachusetts flags are state seals on a solid background — and though they're disliked for different reasons, flag experts say they have one big similarity: bad design.
