OK...there's a fellow who works with me that has a "BUSH KNEW" bumper sticker on his truck. That offends me. Should he be forced to remove the bumper sticker or park off of company property??? Sorry, but that argument doesn't wash. As far as I'm concerned it's his personal vehicle and he can use it to express what he wants, no matter what I think of it. After all...I don't have to ride in his vehicle.

First, I am not here to defend either the man in Tampa or the Woman in Nashville. I see it as a property issue and if your employer or his customers are offended by sights seen on company property it could cost business. For example, I have an employee that I manage that has a "Regime Change Begins at Home" sign in his office and last week before a client visited I asked him to hide the sign. If he had refused to hide the sign I would have taken steps to have him reprimanded. If I had an employee that had pick up truck with a Rebel Flag and bumper stickers that could be considered offensive I would have asked that person to move the truck before the client arrived.

So if the City of Tampa has a resident who is offended by a particular race, the City should be able to ban people of that race from City property so the City won't lose business? Okay. I get it.
