Quote: "The committee has formally declined applications from the NAACP Muskegon county branch and the Muskegon Democratic Black Caucus."
QUESTION: Did anyone ask for a list of examples, names, dates, etc. of participants, floats, banners, narratives, flyers, etc. that dishonored veterans and Quote "Furthered their agendas than honoring veterans"? - Just curious.
I'm interested in hearing details, facts, dates, repeated policy failures, what were the corrective measures that were taken, changes to their applications, instructions, etc. that were then still ignored by these organizations/political groups?, etc.
Basically:
BEFORE YOU DENIED PEOPLE from participating in the memorial day parade What actions, communication, reprimands, etc. have been taken by your committee with past/current participants to mitigate this issue of organizations/political figures, etc. dishonoring veterans during previous parades.
Inquiring minds want to know🫤
The Greater Muskegon Memorial Day parade may be in jeopardy following pushback on the parade committee's decision to ban political figures and groups from the celebration.
