A tradition at Boston Latin School is the sale of carnations on Valentine's Day with a little saying attached. One of this year's proposals:
Are you a colony? Because you're my Massachusetts bae.

Nice to see a tradition continue for this elite school. What is our new "education mayor' going to do for the rest of us, especially for Roxbury where the kids are doomed for failure. Martry should read, "Death at an Eartly Age."
Not bad, less than an hour

For somebody to take something goofy and silly and crank the righteous indignation up to 11.
Don't worry, I'm about to write up the mayor's state-of-the-city address, where he talked about education. But in the meantime, I'm going to go out on a limb here and declare that Marty Walsh is not funneling city funds to BLS to buy carnations.

I'm going to assume the folks who don't get the joke assume that "bae" is the Latin plural for "bus" or "bux".

What is this bae .? it is feminine nominative plural, and other lesser used cases, but of what noun? What's it all about, Alfie?

I don't remember anything near as clever in the late 80's
When did this tradition start?

I was at BLS in the early 70s and I don't remember this.

I'm surprised this isn't considered sexual harassment yet, or that someone didn't ruin it by posting X-rated sayings.
