Because anything and everything offends someone these days, Massachusetts will ditch its state seal and motto. Governor Charlie Baker has given the okie dokie to form a special commission to recommend a new state seal to adorn the state flag, and a new state motto. The center of the current state seal is the Coat of Arms of Massachusetts in blue. According to Wikipedia, "The Coat of Arms was adopted by the Legislature in 1775, and then reaffirmed by Governor John Hancock and his Council on December 13, 1780. The present rendition of the seal was drawn by resident-artist Edmund H. Garrett, and was adopted by the state in 1900."
