Worse still, out of shot but directly across the street is Westminster Elementary School, which only runs from kindergarten to the fifth grade.

Thankfully, after City Councilman Bill Rosendahl contacted the billboard's operator Lamar Advertising and let them know he'd received complaints, it was taken down.
