DOVER James Verschueren woke up the morning of April 26 to find his Hate Has No Home Here yard sign knocked over. The sky blue sign sticks out in the yard, with the American flag in the shape of a heart and bold letters in English and other languages beneath it.
‘Maybe it was the wind,’ he thought, until tire tracks caught his eye – swerving from the road into his flower bed of daylilies, directly to the downed sign.
The sign was one of 100 purchased by the Dover Democratic Committee (Verschueren is a committee co-chair). The incident led a disheartened Verschueren to pen a letter to the editor asking the question: Does hate have a home here?
