I have no problem with this. The first amendment protects both the freedom of speech (flying the flag) and the freedom of assembly (employment). Both are at will and both can be exercised.

If the flag owner wanted to continue to fly his flag, he did not need to park at his work. Rather he could have parked nearby and then walked the remaining distance.

It obviously time for conservatives to start filing complaints about COEXIST bumper stickers or whatever other left wing crap commies put on their cars

Some interesting local history.

The factory is right next door to the Will Carleton poorhouse. It was apparently a farm where local poor were sent to live so they wouldn’t be homeless or beggars on the streets of Hillsdale. It was named after poet William Carleton who lived there for a while when he was a student at Hillsdale college around the time of the civil war.

He wrote an interesting poem about the place and the woman who owned it.

>>What is the use of heapin’ on me a pauper’s shame?
Am I lazy or crazy? Am I blind or lame?
True, I am not so supple, nor yet so awful stout:
But charity ain’t no favor, if one can live without.<<

Well this could be a very slippery slope. Is there a line where you might think the employer has gone too far?

American flag
Pro-Life sticker
GOP sticker
Athletic team sticker that the employer doesn’t like
Maybe the employer is a Chevy man, and he won’t let the Ford logo in his lot.
The fish logo some cars have

Give an inch...they take a mile.
