This will lead many Americans to ask: "What is the world coming to?"
An Arlington woman said she was asked by her supervisor to remove an American flag she hung in her office because it offended a coworker, CBS 11 reported.
Debbie McLucas, a hospital supervisor at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield, hung a 3x5-foot U.S. flag in the office she shares with three other supervisors just before Memorial Day.
The timely display of U.S. patriotism was not welcomed by one of McLucas' office mates.
The coworker, who emigrated to America from Africa 14 years ago, was apparently so bothered by the timely display that a complaint was filed with upper management.
When McLucas, whose daughter is serving in Iraq as a combat medic, was told of the "infraction," she was stunned.
McLucas said her supervisor removed the flag for her and placed it on the floor -- an egregious breach of flag etiquette, aside from being an offensive gesture to most Americans.
An American flag does fly outside of McLucas' office building and supervisors told McLucas that the flag flying outside will have to satisfy her patriotic needs.
A final decision on the matter has been elevated to Kindred's headquarters in Kentucky, though no resolution has been made, CBS 11 reported.
