Steve Roberts from Santee, CA has been told by apartment managers that he can’t fly his American flag inside his apartment and refuses to renew his lease until he takes it down.
Even though flying the flag abides by the rules set forth in his lease and even though he even obtained permission beforehand, it seems that when new management took over their district office demanded the flag be removed.
This is the 3rd such case we’ve seen recently where our American Flag is somehow deemed ‘offensive’. One case where a man was fined $8000 dollars for having a tiny flag out of his flowerpot, another where students couldn’t fly our flag on Cinco de Mayo, and yet another where a man was told he couldn’t fly the flag as it might offend Muslims.
Big Red says:
“Sorry, there’s a huge difference between “flying a flag” and using the flag as a curtain; it is disrespectful to the flag. Also, the Landlords have the right to keep a certain amount of uniformity. Non-comformity, no matter how “patriotic”, is usually not tolerated, especially if it violates certain wording in the lease.”

The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.

Interesting thought on the disrespect aspect. I could see where it might offend some.
