What a pity.

NEW YORK, July 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. Coast Guard said "politically charged" messages led to the removal of an environmental group's vessel ?from a fleet of sailing ships gathered in New York on Saturday ?to celebrate the country's 250th anniversary.

A ship owned by the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater environmental organization was ?forced out of the Sail4th 250 parade in New York Harbor, the Coast Guard said in a statement emailed to Reuters.

The ship had banners that read, "Save the Clean Water Act" and "Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, Climate Solutions".

Participants in the event had agreed to ?refrain from displaying political or ?politically charged messages or statements, according to the Coast Guard, which said it enforced the agreement on behalf of Sail4th.

They’re free to go drive their float around and make all the speech they want. That not in the parade.

You can't sign a contract to be non-political and then unfurl some Greenpeace bullshite. Doesn't work that way, it's not a free speech problem, it's just business.

Trump only bothers me when he does silly stuff.

I prefer he use his power for the people as when he lowers medication or makes car auto groups show the full price. Not getting us into wars.

There was an agreement to refrain. Rules were broken. Did you somehow miss that part? They spelled it out pretty clearly.

I did not say whether it was right or wrong, only making an observation. Take it however you want.
