Town Deems Patriotic Flag Offensive: Orders Removal
(Washington Examiner) One council member compared the flag to the rainbow flag
used to symbolize gay pride, according to local news website Talk of the Sound.
Another has compared it variously to the Nazi flag, a Mickey Mouse flag and
graffiti.
When
a city council member complained to the city manager that he found the flag
offensive, the city manager initially decided to let the flag fly anyway. But
the city council overruled him, and the flag was taken down. On Wednesday, the
council voted 5 to 2 to keep the veterans from putting the flag back up.The council objected to the flag because they said Peter Parente, the president of the veterans group, is a member of the Tea Party and the group wants to use the flag to make a political point. |
