Mansfield Flag Controversy Draws Worldwide Outrage

It is so sad that in America, patriotism could be considered offensive... How dare they tell her she had to take down the flag. The proper response from the hospital would be "Patriotism is never offensive" I'm sorry you don't understand that the flag is a flag for all who love America, liberty, freedom and apple pie and it stays.. The Constitution doesn't protect people from being offended. If you are, you are living in the wrong country..
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.
