Daybreak apologizes for removing characters from Black Lives Matter


The association of homeowners who govern the planned community of South Jordan on Tuesday apologized after residents received messages to remove their signs from Black Lives Matter.

One of those who received the report was sociologist and professor of family and consumer studies Dan Carlson from Utah, who posted a photo of his message on Twitter.

“I’m not taking my sign down,” Carlson said in a telephone interview Tuesday night, “and it looks like I will not be forced to take my sign off.”

Carlson said he had a conversation with the director of the Homeowners Association, who apologizes. She said, according to Carlson, there had been an attempt to remove some signs and flags with promises other than breaking the association’s rules and “someone on her team must have received the wrong message.”

A message the association posted on its Facebook page on Tuesday: “Thank you for your concerns and conversations regarding the courtesy signs of courtesy that were posted at eight residents’ doors this afternoon.

“Please understand that these tags were posted incorrectly. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and misunderstanding this may have caused. “

Carlson said he was told all eight messages were given to households with signs of Black Lives Matter. Carlson has lived in Daybreak since 2016 and said he is unaware of an attempt to remove other types of political yard signs.
