Supervisor Asks Woman To Take Down American Flag!

TDC asks, should the woman have told those who were offended by the American flag that there are airplanes departing Dallas / Fort Worth every hour and that they could catch the next one to take themselves back to the country they came from? Wow, how can you be offended by the American flag when this country provides the opportunity for a life that many would never otherwise have? Such disrepect should never be tolerated!

Supervisor Asks Woman To Take Down American Flag

Someone needs a bigger flag, and needs to find a new job.

She could have told them that if she wanted to. And people being offended by the American flag is colossally stupid. At the same time, an employer has every right to decide what can and cannot be hung in the office. non-story.

When the flags offends the President Of The United States himself, what’s a third world African immigrant ? Oh well, never mind..

[Chipper]

Something tells me if I said I was offended by the dozens of flags hanging here at work, I’d be out on the street.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I want to know if the ‘offended’ is a ‘naturalized citizen’.

[Kartographer]

No she just has a mail order birth certificate.

"McLucas said the supervisor who complained has been in the United States for 14 years and is formerly from Africa. McLucas said that supervisor took down the flag herself."

Another one of the downsides of allowing your country to be taken over by Third World peasants.

For those who don’t like America, please leave and stop mooching off the country.

We’re still living in the United States, right? I’m really not sure anymore.

Different employers handle things different ways. That is also their right. Don't like your employer, get a new job.

Frankly, I think that it is pretty obnoxious to hang anything as large as 3'X 5' on the wall of an office you share with other people. I have a 3" X 5" flag (the kind you wave at parades) at my desk. Am I less patriotic because it is small? I think people were less offended by the fact that it was an American flag than by the fact that it was 3' X 5' and she didn't ask anyone she shared the office with if they minded. A little common courtesy goes a long way.

Upon further reading, the size was exactly what the problem was... at least according to the statement from the employer.

According to this link....

Flag Flap Causes American Flag to be Removed

...the hospital's corporate types are still on the fence about McLucas displaying her flag.

I hope they get an earful.

I’m all for the flag lady, though maybe a smaller flag would be more appropriate for an indoor office room.

I don’t care how or how small the flag was...It’s OUR FLAG!!!

My father fought under that flag in WWII(Patton’s Third Army)...I fought under that flag in Vietnam (SEAL2)...Both my sons fought under that flag in Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf (one a US Marine, the other a US Navy sailor)

It’s OUR FLAG!!!!

It is NEVER to be dishonored in any way...

‘Nuff said....

Don't like your employer, get a new job.

Don't like your employer in America, while execricising your rights as an American, expose the employer for their violation of your American rights and force them to back down, or get themselves a new job.

[GeronL]

UPDATE

She can put the flag back up

[Boonie]

Thanks to American voices!!!!!!

It does work....Don’t let it stop here...

[theknuckler_33]

Hanging something in your employer provided workplace is not a right.

How I long for the 50’s ... if this had happened in the 50’s that complaining supervisor would be eating thru a straw for a while and nobody would have seen a thing
