A Chester City firefighter was suspended without pay yesterday for refusing to remove an American flag sticker from his locker.
James Krapf, an 11-year veteran of the department, could face more days of suspension if he does not remove the sticker, Fire Commissioner James Johnson said.

WHere is my country?????? It’s gone.
This is simply outrageous.
“Anybody who finds the American flag offensive shouldn’t be working there,” Krapf said yesterday.
AMEN!
Colonel, USAFR
Time to reform it.
Secession followed by reformation,
and a strict ideological immigration policy.
Hey just put an obomo sticker next to it - that would solve everything.
A childish zero-tolerance one size fits all rule by a childish commissioner.
But,,, I just saw the other day that we have a new flag, and it supercedes the old one.
I’m sure rainbow flag stickers are ok though since they show the department commitment to diversity, right? Sigh.
He had an American flag decal? He should take that to the Supreme Court. No wait! We should ALL wear American flags in support/ like the Danish King and the Jewish stars.
This is disgusting.

So much for being the Cradle of Liberty.
I couldn't put stuff on the outside of my locker in the Marine Corps or High school. It's defacing government property..............
good point. if they’re going to bash America, then its time to bash them on ALL their fronts using the same tools they use.
we should start pushing the fact that we are offended by the rainbow/pro-homo stickers, the malcom X/militant black stuff, che/mao stuff on display at work.
or how we are offended when they force us to hide our religious affiliation and religious holiday displays in schools other public areas.
or how they attack us for daring to succeed.
personally, i’m offended by all the homo comedy and gratuitous homo scenes in movies, tv shows and commercials. very annoying.
I worked for a subsidiary of PECO which is a part of EXELON, the most PC Utility in the Country. I had the flag on my safety helmet, as did every Operator in my Department.
.... would be OK.
Fire Chief needs a pike pole stuck up this ass.
Just sayin
