When the Stouts built a purple playground in their yard they didn’t really expect any controversy to rise over it. They were wrong, as their homeowners association worked relentlessly to harass the family and get the thing removed, even going as far as to threaten jail time. According to UPI:
A Missouri family said their homeowners association is threatening them with jail time after they refused to take down their purple playground equipment.
Marla Stout of Lee’s Summit said her family put up a playset for their young daughters about two years ago and she painted the equipment purple to comply with requirements of the Raintree Lake Neighborhood Homeowner’s Association.
“There’s nothing in the rules about color,” Stout told WDAF-TV. “What it says is it has to be harmonious with the community and with nature and there is nothing that dictates the color of the swing set.”
This goes to show that the nanny state is growing every day. When something as small as the color of a play set is being legislated, you know something is wrong.
