PC OVERDONE

A recent article on the internet described a situation in which a female employee of a company in Texas had displayed a US Flag in her work area. Bec ause one person in the work area complained that the Flag's presence was offensive to her, the company had the flag removed and thrown on the ground (or maybe rolled up in a corner). The employee was informed that the flag was considered to be offensive and could not be further displayed. Management explained further that she would have to settle for the flag flying outside the building as the official symbol. Apparently, later, after the incident was discovered by NEWS media, the flag was allowed to be returned to its owner and be placed on display.

I am so outraged by this series of events. Anyone who is "offended" by the US Flag should consider leaving the Country and resettle where they will not be so disturbed.  Any company that treats the US Flag (at least in the USA) as reported should be severely censured. And any attempt to downplay such activity by the news media should be firmly discouraged.

The US Flag, it is true is only a symbol, and the symbol has often times been desecrated  and allowed to be burned and trod upon in the name of "freedom of speech". These acts should likewise be discouraged and possibly be banned when it is done to demean the Country. Forget the argument about advertising pictorials of the flag being thrown in the garbage; that is clearly different from a view of someone in a crowd purposely defacing the flag.
