Is it okay to show your patriotism at the office?

For one Arlington woman, the answer was "no" after she hung an American flag in her office just before the Memorial Day weekend.

Debbie McLucas is one of four hospital supervisors at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield. Last week, she hung a three-by-five foot American flag in the office she shares with the other supervisors.

When McLucas came to work Friday, her boss told her another supervisor had found her flag offensive. "I was just totally speechless. I was like, 'You're kidding me,'" McLucas said.

Kindred Hospital Corporate Headquarters are located in Kentucky. They have yet to make a final decision on the matter. They have not returned our phone calls for comment.

......technically it's a kentucky Hospital located in Texas...that apparently requires CEO approval to fly an American flag... Why am I now interested in this hospital's death rate?

If the other supervisor find her nation’s flag “offensive”, she should strongly consider finding another nation to live in.

Well, if we can’t figure out which African country she came from, let’s just pick Zimbabwe or Sudan. Buh bye!

Why would someone emigrate to a nation they hate? I could more understand a native born individual who was discontented with her country being offended by its flag, and staying. After all, it is their home.

But to move to a country, which you hate so much, is insane.

Anyone finding our flag OFFENSIVE, should move to Venezuela, and take Obama with them.

I think I recall some guy getting shot during the Civil War over tearing down an American Flag.

This has got to stop. That African fruitcake should be shipped back to hwatever foreign rathole she crawled out of.
