If it's office policy I'd have no problem with taking it down (in a respectful manner with due notice).

But, respectfully Sir, there is nothing to indicate that was the case.

her boss told her another supervisor had found her flag offensive.

But McLucas also said hospital higher-ups had told her some patients' families and visitors had also complained
I have a hard time believing many patients' families and visitors were offended and in an office with 3 supervisors I have a hard time believing that the flag interfered w/ the working space of the two other supervisors.

Swine Flu sandwich aside I'm happy with the results:

Wednesday morning, however, our story received nationwide attention. We have received hundreds of emails and comments from people who had something to say about it. Several dozen people protested outside the Mansfield hospital Wednesday. And a receptionist at Kindred's headquarters told us they received many phone calls.

Then, late Wednesday morning, Kindred posted on its website a statement about the incident. It reads, in part: "The disagreement was over the size of the flag and not what it symbolized. We have invited the employee to put the flag back up."
