Dept. of Public Safety revokes license plate with presumed Muslim bigotry

[CopyBoy]

Minnesota revoked and took possession of car license plates that read “FMUSLMS,” according to a news release from the office of Gov. Mark Dayton.
The unindentified owner was also due for some public scolding from Dayton: “I am appalled that this license plate was issued by the State of Minnesota,” he said in a statement. “It is offensive, and the person who requested it should be ashamed. That prejudice has no place in Minnesota.”
Dayton also asked the Department of Public Safety, which administers car registration, to review its policies to prevent other instances of bigotry showing up on license plates.

f can stand for many words, but I can see why it was revoked.

From the article it sounds like the plate was first observed by some Muslims over the weekend. On Monday the plate was revoked. I can’t imagine the government doing anything that fast. In fact there is almost nothing else it would do as quickly. Minnesota has lots of serious problems and offensive license plates really isn’t one of them.
