Subject: Re: LONG LIVE THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA Ken,
Thank you for your
note. I had read the company's recanting on its website.
I remain very concerned
that prior to the WTC terrorist attack your company apparently had this policy
of prior speech and expression restraint. And that the edict from
your CEO has not been rescinded. Accordingly I wonder what other policies
your management has. I see a pattern of First Amendment
abuse.
To sacrifice freedom of
association and freedom of expression to vague, freefloating fear of those who
are overly sensitive is counterproductive to say the very
least. What confidence could be placed in a corporate
management which protects those who would insensibly assert that
the flag of their country is "divisive"?
Who are so unattached to reality that they would straigt-facedly cry
crocodile tears that they are "offended" by seeing that
flag? What the heck does this say about your company?? It is still
unbelieveable to me that this happened. I can posit: if
Management is that afraid of the sentiments of its own employees, those it
depends on to make it money and profit, then the employees have an equally
intense disesteem for Management.
Per the CEO's
memo:
"[Anything] that could [mean different
things to different people] [is] not appropriate in our work
environment," wrote Chief Executive Officer Bill Schrempf in a memo to
employees, according to the Palm Beach Post.
That is what your CEO has
said, in writing.
May God Bless America and put a stop
to such persecution of patriots in this great land as shown by
NCCI.
