A judge has ordered a woman in New Jersey to take down her "vulgar" anti-Joe Biden flags, but she insists that they are freedom of speech. Roselle Park resident Andrea Dick has brought the attention of many to her yard after displaying flags that show how she feels about the current US president, per <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/15626930/judge-orders-new-jersey-woman-remove-biden-flags-fines/">The Sun</a>. One features a photograph of the former president Trump with two fingers up and the phrase "F**k Biden," while another says "F**k Biden Not My President." <a href="https://www.nj.com/union/2021/06/f-bomb-bird-flipping-anti-biden-flags-outside-house-near-nj-school-infuriate-neighbors.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NJ.com</a> reports that Mayor Joseph Signorello said that Dick's "vulgar" display was in violation of "obscene materials" laws. In an interview with <a href="https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/politics/neighbors-want-profane-anti-biden-signs-removed-from-nj-womans-fence-walls/3087699/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBC New York</a>, Dick said that she was displaying the flags to support Donald Trump, who she said "should have won the election". The matter made its way to court when she refused to take the flags down, despite facing daily $250 fines.

"I'm not taking them down," Dick said. "I refuse to take them down... today I got a phone call from code enforcement... I said nothing against you, but I'm not taking them down. "I said I have a right, freedom of speech, and I'm leaving them up there." However, the people who want her to remove the flags said that it has nothing to do with expressing a political view and is instead about vulgarity. Mayor Joseph Signorello said: "It's been brought to our attention less because of the political aspect of it, but the vulgarity of it. "The real problem is, from a neighbor perspective, is it's a block away from an elementary school. It's in a high visibility area for children. Most of the ire was drawn from a lot of local parents." The campaign to have the flags removed was then likened to something from Nazi Germany by Dick's lawyer. <img class=" wp-image-1263115847" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/07/Trump-Rank-FI-Website.jpg" alt="" width="654" height="341" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Alamy / Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert]] Dick's lawyer Michael Campagna said that democracy is a state where people are free to express their political views.  "I may not believe in what you're saying, but I absolutely believe that you have the right to say it. That's what our democracy is about," he said. "If you tell people that they cannot say something, that they cannot print something, that they cannot put a sign up, we're going into censorship." <h6>Featured image credit: Pexels / Sora Shimazaki</h6>
