Mansfield Flag Controversy Draws Worldwide Outrage

Is it okay to show your patriotism at the office?

 

For one Arlington woman, the answer was "no" after she hung an American flag in her office just before the Memorial Day weekend.

 

Debbie McLucas is one of four hospital supervisors at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield. Last week, she hung a three-by-five foot American flag in the office she shares with the other supervisors.

 

When McLucas came to work Friday, her boss told her another supervisor had found her flag offensive. "I was just totally speechless. I was like, 'You're kidding me,'" McLucas said.

 

McLucas' husband and sons are former military men. Her daughter is currently serving in Iraq as a combat medic.

 

Stifling a cry, McLucas said, "I just wonder if all those young men and women over there are really doing this for nothing."

 

McLucas said the supervisor who complained has been in the United States for 14 years and is formerly from Africa. McLucas said that supervisor took down the flag herself.

 

"The flag and the pole had been placed on the floor," McLucas said. But McLucas also said hospital higher-ups had told her some patients' families and visitors had also complained.

 

"I was told it wouldn't matter if it was only one person," she said. "It would have to come down."

 

McLucas said hospital bosses told her as far as patriotism was concerned, the flag flying outside the hospital building would have to suffice.

That is really weird and odd. We are in the United States of America, why would anyone be offended by the flag of this country? They live in this country, too. Doesn't make sense.

If I would have complained about the Turkish flag hanging in someone's office while I was living in Turkey, I would have probably been in either jail, or the hospital. Every office has a Turkish flag and a picture of Ataturk - Turkey's George Washington.

Is there a UN flag?

Is there a UN flag?

There must be, there's an EU flag.

Whoever it was, I bet they vote Democrat.

[RoyalOrleans]

I have the flag of the United States of America right outside my shop.

 

I raise it and take it down every single day.

 

If anyone has a problem with that, step inside and we'll discuss it over a nice cup of STFU and get the fukk out.

And you're right IWS, I can't believe this happened in TX either. Texans usually have their Texas flag splattered all over the place, I'm surprised this lady used the US flag instead:D

Unless of course you are an Obama supporter in Houston, where as you would hang up a flag of Cuba, with the picture of a murderous, communist, terrorist, thug on it, and none of the Democrats, working there, would be offended by it.

I can't believe it's not butter!

 

And yes, this is a crying shame.
