In this case, the president agreed with you and not with the supervisor. The supervisor was then not following the wishes of his own supervisors.

I am saying that this is a property-rights case, and you are all trying to make it about patriotism. Here's a clue: that you insist on displaying a flag at work doesn't make you any more patriotic. In fact, it makes me think that you're trying too hard to compensate.
