A construction crew working on a bridge in Alaska’s Denali National Park was ordered to remove their American flag from their equipment. The park official said it “detracted” from the park experience.
Alaska Watchman reported:
The crew working on a 475-foot-long bridge in Alaska’s Denali National Park was recently told that they could no longer fly the American flag from their trucks or heavy equipment, which are being used in the $207 million Federal Highway Administration project.
..... Snip.....
According to the contractor, Denali National Park Superintendent Brooke Merrell contacted the man overseeing the federal highways project, claiming there had been complaints about the U.S. flags, and notifying him that bridge workers must stop flying the stars and strips from their vehicles because it detracts from the “park experience.”
“The trucks are flying these American flags, about a foot atop the trucks, about three-foot by four-foot flags, and they said they don’t want this,” the contractor explained. “They’re saying it isn’t conducive and it doesn’t fit the park experience.”

People need to just refuse when confronted by “orders” like this. Just say no. They count on fear based compliance.
Learn the power of a polite but firm “NO”. Have lots of friend pull out phones and shoot video.

” Wasn’t an American politician (Sarah Palin) notorious for saying years back that she could see russia from her front porch?”
No, that would be Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live.
Park Service says it’s fake news. Why do I not believe them?
Brooke is a real nutburger.
“Fly The Flag!!!”
A few months ago when a teenager was told by his school he couldn’t display the American flag on his vehicle. He had his entire truck painted red/white and blue - donated by a local business - no cost to the teenager...
(What happens in the next few days?)
I believe he thinks Trump will be found guilty and jailed pending appeal. He may be right.
Oh, ok.
(Wasn’t an American politician (Sarah Palin) notorious for saying years back that she could see russia from her front porch?)
No, that was Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live saying that pretending to be Sarah Palin in a skit. The national audience thought it was true even though Palin never said it. The media ran with it and apparently you fell for it too.
I’m as critical of bad sentence structure as the next person - I meant that to be ONE sentence - should not have had a PERIOD after “his vehicle.” The first sentence would be incomplete and I didn’t intend that...
I thought they were only for removing Confederate American flags.
This is too much, too soon.
If this story is, then she should be fired immediately.

The word, “true” is missing in my post.
Damn Chicoms stole it

As part of their orientation into Congress new Republicans are taught by the GOP leadership how to write strongly worded letters and forget that God gave them testicles
Well golly, we’re awfully glad to have you point out our shortcomings for us. 🙄
Tell the park bitch to go f herself.
We will fly American flags any place we damn well please. You don’t like it, tough shit
“That’s always problematic with GS federal employees. But a 90 suspension, demotion and a nice new assignment to the oldest, smallest crap hole station in Death Valley National Monument should get her to self terminate at a reduces cost to the taxpayers.”
BTTT
With this CV, her only option is a government job. She needs to be transferred to a post that is hotter than Hades.
You sweet, sweet summer child.
Government employees can’t be fired. (MAYBE if she killed someone)
Bet if they displayed Pro-palestine flags or Ukraine flags or Rainbow flags it wouldn’t be a problem. Hope this news story gets noticed by conservative reporters. That official needs to be fired!
