North Carolina-based grocery chain Food Lion will now permit its employees to wear American flag-themed face masks while working at its stores.
The company went viral earlier this week after one of its employees revealed he quit after being told to avoid wearing his American flag-themed mask.

People who run businesses should be smart enough to know that being Woke to the point of stupid knocks a bunch of dollars from the bottom line. People in high castles need to know that what works among their Progressive friends is seen in an entirely different way among those who actually walk through the doors of the stores.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure they're wrong - with the specific exception of flag patches and lapel pins, US flag code prohibits "wearing" a flag as apparel, or printed or embroidered on anything intended for temporary use and discarded. (It mentions napkins specifically, but paper masks would fall into that catagory.) I'm all for showing patriotism, but there are more respectful ways.

The picture clearly shows he's wearing a cloth scarf, not a paper mask. Hit the link before commenting?
DeleteI saw the picture - wrapping a US flag around your face is just as disrespectful to the flag, and a violation of USC Title 4 chapter 1 US Flag Code, as dragging it on the ground. Good intentions and patriotic motivation do not justify disrespectful treatment of the US flag.
DeleteScott, according to you the American flag is sacred, or close to it.
DeleteDo you understand what the gold-trimmed flags in courtrooms and official offices represent? They are Admiralty flags of the USA INC., doesn't that knowledge that the USA really doesn't exist within the state and fedgov's upset you?
Get off your high horse and let people wear the AMERICAN flag anyway they want. It really doesn't matter under any of the laws you are spouting. Those went away when the USA became the USA INC.
