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.
<P<
Gutless and illogical people in positions of power.
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.
I find that supervisor offensive.

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 Debbies flag herself.
But its ok to live here and earn a living, maybe even send your kids to school?
Why didnt the paper try to interview the poor itty bitty offended supervisor? Why wasnt that persons name published? They dont 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.

I don't know about the rest of you, but NOBODY places my flag on the floor!

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 Id counter that I find that person offensive and ask that they be removed.

Dear FRiends,
In light of what is transpiring in our nations 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.
Were all in this together.

Everyone who works at the hospital should bring in and display an American flag.
Then watch the foreigners head explode.
There is nothing, I repeat, NOTHING offensive about the American flag.
It is the most beautiful flag on earth.

Someone might place my flag on the floor, but very soon they would be joining it on the same floor.

The United Kingdom. Though, I doubt they'd have anyone in any office that would allow it to be put up in the first place.

Must read for all those who think all legal immigrants should be welcomed.
There are many who do not deserve this country.
There are many natives who aren't good enough for it either, but we have no choice there.

I so agree with you!
why do I have a feeling that somewhere in this foreigners name is Ahmed or Mohammad and that Club Gitmo would be a good place for him?

Ask Chrysler bond holders.
It’s time to remove the “A” from the ACLU...From this point on, I’ll NEVER refer to this organization as “American”....
Unreal...
Anyone else watch the video and notice that the flag flying outside the hospital is tattered and frayed at the end?
Frankly, this is appalling, it makes me heart sick.
I am flummoxed. Is this really possible? How can this be?
this is unbelievable!!!!!
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.”
kindredhealthcare posted on their website that they had “invited the employee to put the flag back up”. Was that the same “offensive sized” flag?
