"Here's the thing: Your boss rules your life," said... a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union... "Your employer gets to make the rules."Yeah, that's the ACLU's traditional point of view in these matters. That's the ticket.

"Here's the thing: Your boss rules your life," said Mary Catherine Roper, a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania's Philadelphia office. "Your employer gets to make the rules." Why do I get the feeling that the ACLU answer would be different if the boss made him pull down a Cuban flag with a picture of Che on it.

It’s a sad day when Americans are made to feel shame over their national symbol. Too bad the employee can’t refuse to use or display the company logo.

I agree that this company has the right to control what happens on their premises and what their employees do while on the clock. For once the ACLU got it right. Now where are they on unions and excessive federal workplace regulation?
To: Kid Shelleen
Just watch, once the socialist revolution is consummated we will be REQUIRED to wear flags. The ACLU will be just fine with it.

"People really have no idea how much control they have to give up when they go work," Roper said. "Workers generally don't have a lot of rights." Actually I have. One gives up even more rights when they're standing in a court room before a judge.
I have worked places in the Philly court system, where male workers had posters hanging, with women in bikinis, totally inappropriate for the workplace, and nothing was ever said. Outrageous, that Sylvestro can't hang the American Flag.

I guess slavery was never really abolished....Hmmm. People are ok with this? Keep the flag up you wimp!

ACLJ, Thomas More, Heritage Foundation, and if he’s a Roman Catholic, the Catholic League would probably take this case and write the appropriate letter which would probably end the discrimination.
Your employer does not “own” you in a Republic.
Everyone would do well to read (or listen to online) “The Federalist Papers.”
