Parents, others upset with messages on new billboard on Route 422 in Summit Township

An electronic billboard along Route 422 in Summit Township displays overtly political and vehement messages on Tuesday, Jan. 10. Cary Shaffer/Butler Eagle

Neighbors and motorists didn’t think much of it last week when a new electronic billboard was installed at the intersection of Route 422 and Bonniebrook Road in Summit Township, but were shocked and upset at the messages that began scrolling repeatedly on Monday.

The billboard, which is on the northwest side of the intersection, displays messages including as “FBI corrupt & dangerous THE GESTAPO” with a large swastika; “Whites are under attack stop it now!!” with ”Stop teaching critical racist theory to our kids;” “God’s law ‘marriage’ one man-one woman;” and “God prohibits same sex marriage.”

Jessica Winkler, of East Butler, whose two children attend Summit Elementary School, worries about the hundreds of students whose buses pass the questionable messages twice a day.
