Offended by the American Flag?

Disagree. I don't know where you got the information for your side of the story, but I'm much more inclined to believe the guys'. Remember that story about the art students laying flags on the floor and people would just walk on them and no one cared? That type of behavior seems to be much more common than someone making a fuss about how the flag was used. Plus if this supervisor really cared about how the flag was displayed, she would not have placed it on the floor.

While you may be right about asking someone to remove a McCain bumper sticker from their car (though that doesn't seem realistic), if someone had a Puerto Rican flag hanging from their rearview mirror, no one would say shit. That is the point.

They actually couldn't say shit about a Puerto Rican flag hanging in your car because that would be discrimination by national origin which is illegal by federal law, same with sex, age, disability, etc.

So let me get this straight, you can not be discriminated against by your company for being Puerto Rican (which by the way is an American Territory) but you can be discriminated against by your company for being Republican. I get it.
