Protester Opposes New Baseball Field For Disabled Children, Assaults Program Director
By Jason Lisk
The Miracle League of the Triangle, the local chapter in the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina area, is planning on building a new field on property in North Raleigh. Residents of a nearby neighborhood, though, are opposed to the building of that field. They were so opposed over Memorial weekend that they showed up at the elementary school field in Cary, North Carolina where the Miracle League is currently playing to protest and hand out fliers.
The protesters’ fliers claim to be concerned about power lines near the proposed construction and the safety of the children. Of course, they live right next to the same area. Another protester said that she hoped the incident didn’t take away from the concerns neighbors have about the traffic and noise from the ball fields. Very touching by these protesters, and a great way to teach your kids about tolerance.
