So F what? I find him offensive. No what are you going to do?

What I don’t understand about this kind of situation (that happens way too often) is that the one “offended” is given into and all those not offended are ignored. The “boss” should have told the complainer that it was her right to have the flag and observe Memorial Day, and to get over it, that the observance was only for a couple of days.

I find it very frightening because if I can't display my flag, what other freedoms will I lose before all is said and done," McLucas asked.

I'm glad she asked that question.

I have a small flag hanging on the wall above my desk, right next to a “Peace Through Superior Firepower” magnet. My office is full of obamunists, but nobody has every said anything about it. I also have a print of Ben Franklin’s “Join or Die” emblem as well. They’re staying right where they are.

Displays of the American Flag Protected At Work
November 8, 2002

Citing a “resurgence of patriotism” following the September 11, 2001 attacks, the New York Legislature has added yet another category of protected conduct. It has prohibited both private and public employers (and their agents) from discharging or discriminating against any employee for “displaying an American flag on the employee’s person or work station.” The law does provide some limits: it only protects the display if it “physically does not substantially or materially interfere with the employee’s job duties.”

The law authorizes the Commissioner of Labor (the New York State Depart of Labor) to investigate violations and assess the employer with a civil penalty ranging from two hundred dollars to two thousand dollars. An aggrieved employee may also file a civil lawsuit against an employer or persons alleged to have violated the law within two years after the violation. Remedies available include injunctive relief, compensatory damages, and attorneys’ fees.

The law, which amends the State’s Labor Law, is effective September 17, 2002.

“McLucas said the supervisor who complained has been in the United States for 14 years and is formerly from Africa. McLucas said the supervisor took down Debbie’s flag herself.”

But it’s ok to live here and earn a living, maybe even send your kids to school?

Why didn’t the paper try to interview the poor itty bitty “offended” supervisor? Why wasn’t that person’s name published? They don’t hesitate to try that if someone puts up a Confederate flag.

Something like this needs to be posted several times to get the attention it deserves. I say FR needs to be on this. Call the hospital and tell them what you think.

I find it offensive to have CNN on the televisions at the airport. I find it offensive for people to wear turbans because it represents a specific religion and ‘makes me feel uncomfortable’. Where does all this stop? This is absolutely crazy.

Well then, that person should go home since they don't care for the flag of this nation.

If someone told me the flag was offensive I’d counter that I find that person offensive and ask that they be removed.

Dear FRiends,

In light of what is transpiring in our nation’s capitol, more than ever, we need to ensure that places like Free Republic and other like-minded places continue to speak the plain truth. Newspapers are dying and the current administration will either bail them out or allow them to fail. If they are bailed out, they will be even more beholding to the coming socialist agenda. If they are allowed to fail, the powers that be will force the remaining electronic media to fill the void. Local coverage only. No national syndicated news/talk. The “Fairness Doctrine”, like it or not.

After that, the internet. Free Republic. And others.

We need to get this FReepathon over and right now. We need to show that we are serious and will continue forward and thrive, not just survive.

If you can spare a couple of bucks, that would be great...If not, God bless you and please stop by the FReepathon thread and give it a bump.

We’re all in this together.

Everyone who works at the hospital should bring in and display an American flag.

Then watch the foreigner’s head explode.

There is nothing, I repeat, NOTHING offensive about the American flag.

It is the most beautiful flag on earth.

I would hope (a good obi word) that I would have said, “Excuse me, but please do not touch any of my personal items without my permission. Also, why did you desecrate the flag by putting it on the floor? Next, please show me where it is written that American flags are forbidden. If you can show me that, please let me talk to a hospital attorney so he can explain this to me before I file my lawsuit.”
