I can see their point, sad as it may seem.

What if a Nazi employee wanted to wear a swastika pin> Or a gay employee sported a rainbow pin? A satanist with some occult symbol. The list can go on and on.

You get the picture.

A company has a right to have a uniform policy. That said, I’m proud of this young man. He is standing up for his principles and that’s a great thing. I think he’ll go far.

the flag is Not offensive.It is the symbol of our Country and our ideals. The establishment of its own displays an American flag outside the establishment.... leading to the reasonable conclusion that they ought know an American flag pin is not offensive.What if they said employees could not wear a wedding band? Or what if the uniform policy was that all female employees had to dress like French Maids with their sexual organs displayed and available for all?would you still feel the same?

A company certainly can allow some pins, but not others. Just like allowing women to wear skirts at work doesn't necessarily mean allowing them to wear extremely short ones that show half their butt.

To your what ifs, I say, SO WHAT?

Playing the what if game is non-productive. It's also the game that lawyers and judges have been playing for the past 50 years in order to transform this nation into what is was never intended to become.

There is no hope for people who cannot differentiate between proudly displaying the flag of our country and sporting symbols like the Nazi Swastika or the homosexual rainbow.

It is that type of shallow, misguided moral equivalency that has brought our culture and society to the point of near disintegration.

Yup, so long as it's policy, and not arbitrary, this makes sense to me.

I needed to sign a Code of Conduct when I was hired; it covered things like this. (would imagine this guy did, too, it's pretty standard) Of course, the Code was pretty vague, "Business-Appropriate Attire" or some such. But then again, my company keeps me locked away in the basement far away from customers. If I was public-facing, I'd bet that my guidelines would be more specific.

You equate a Nazi pin to an American flag pin? Who does that - beyond zero tolerance anti-American leftists?
