    That’s not true. “Protect” is loaded language.

        ‘Protect’ can imply it’s a victim of an unjust action. ‘Maintain’ may perhaps be a more neutral term.

          ‘Protect’ can imply it’s a victim of an unjust action.

          Not in the context of how I used it. Context matters.

          ‘Maintain’ may perhaps be a more neutral term.

          The article describes a conflict between the city and the state, so ‘maintain’ would not be a proper word, ‘protect’ would be. The state was trying to take something away from the city.
