Take down the red, white, and blue... Or get kicked out

5 replies [Last post]

What a sad, sad state this country is coming to. When flying the flag of the United States of America is wrong, because we "might offend" someone... Personally, I think that everyone in this complex should put a flag on their car... Let them kick each and everyone one of them out, and have no tenants.

"Because the flag still stand for freedom, and they can't take that awayyyyyyyyyyyyy..."

Jim Clausen flies the American flag from the back of his motorcycle. He has a son in the military heading back to Iraq, and the flag - he said - is his way of showing support.

"This flag stands for all those people," said Clausen, an Oaks Apartment resident. "It stands for the people that can no longer stand - who died in wars. That's why I fly this flag."

But to Oaks Apartment management, Clausen said, the American flag symbolizes problems.

He was told to remove the red, white and blue from both of his rides, or face eviction.

"It floored me," he said. "I can't believe she was saying what she was saying."

Even long-time residents like Sharron White, who has flown a flag on her car for eight years, has been told to take it down.

White said management told her that "someone might get offended."

"I just said to her 'They'll just have to get over it,'" White said.

Resident we talked to who had been approached to take down their flags all told us the same thing: that management told them the flags could be offensive because they live in a diverse community.

You can read more here. Upon doing a search for an email address for these people, I found a review site where you can give your thoughts on the apartments... Leave them some good negative feedback... Apparently I wasn't the first to come up with the idea.

You have GOT to be kidding me? You're right, what is this country coming to? It would make me more determined to fly even more flags, and thats what ALL those tenants should do. I doubt if she can evict them for that, it is every American citizens right to fly the American Flag! Gonna check out the review site and leave my thoughts!

uhhhh yeah flying the flag might be offensive??? How about telling someone to take it down might be offensive. I have a flag poll at my house (yeah a full size flag pole) and we fly on top the US flag and right under it is the USMC flag. We fly them proud!

Shame on the apartment complex. I hope they fight it!!!
