[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A flag is symbolic and can stir up all kinds of feelings. If a Confederate flag is understandably offensive to people in an office and shouldn't be displayed in a cubicle, why can the American flag be burned as freedom of speech? Both are often described as "just symbols."[/quote]

Not enough eye rolls in the world.  Plenty of behaviors are both legal and not allowed in an office environment.  I don't think you'll find employers particularly amenable to allowing employees to burn flags in their cubes either.

Freedom of speech doesn't apply to employee/employer relationships.  It applies to the government restricting the speech of its citizens.  This guy is allowed to display his ode to hatred and treason at home when he's just a citizen.  He doesn't get to do it at work. [/quote]

Best to cross off 'visiting the South' from your list - confederate flags everywhere. People even felt the need to fly them from thei million dollar beach front rental homes in Florida (near Alabama) . Who brings their huge confederate flag with them on vacation? 
Or, to work? This guy must be a special kind of stupid to display that at a federal government job.[/quote]
