That would be fine except that the people up in arms over the current design aren't joking about it.

“Those people” include tribal leaders who have been asking for the change for 50 yrs. Fuck them I guess?

In addition to being offensive to native Americans the flag is also boring and kind of ugly. Does anyone deeply identify with the Massachusetts flag anyway? It’s so forgettable. Might as well take this opportunity to change it to something cooler. I mean, why not? It’s win-win.
