Title: Federal agency says wearing 'Don't Tread on Me' hat could be racial harassment

Wearing a Gadsden Flag hat to work could be considered racial harassment, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the government body that oversees “hostile work environment” harassment claims against federal agencies.

The iconic flag, which originates from the Revolutionary War, features coiled snake above the words “Don’t Tread On Me.” In recent years, it has become a favorite symbol of the Tea Party movement and conservative activists.

Earlier this year, the EEOC received a complaint from a “Shelton,” an African American, who charged that his employer (the federal government) had subjected him to racial discrimination when a coworker “repeatedly wore a cap with an insignia of the Gadsden Flag.” Shelton (not his real name) said he found the cap to be “racially offensive” because the man who designed it in 1775, Christopher Gadsden, was a slave owner and because the insignia was a “historical indicator of white resentment against blacks stemming largely from the Tea Party.”

The EEOC acknowledged that the flag did not originate with the Tea Party movement, and was created centuries ago “in a non-racial context.” However, the commission also found that the Gadsden Flag could be “interpreted to convey racially-tinged messages in some contexts,” citing as an example a 2014 shooting spree in which white supremacists draped Gadsden Flags over the bodies of two murdered police officers.

" Wearing a Gadsden Flag hat to work could be considered racial harassment, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, "

The EEOC should STFU. And, they should be abolished.

Because of this article, I think I will get one of those hats, and a flag.

I guess he is blind because there are people of color in the tea party.

If we held up his standard then the whole USA will have to removed. Stupid people who have been brainwashed by racebaiters. If you hate America so much then you have an easy choice. Africa is calling your name. You can live like a king in Africa since its like a 1000 to 1 dollar exchange!

Im ok with reparations as long as they give up US citizenship and never return. Once they realize how bad it really is in whatever hell hole they come from they can not come back ever. Give them $25K and a free ticket to any place on the planet that is not US soil.

You know I don't think they know what they want. They are like spoiled children who are throwing a tantrum. You can give them everything they ask for and they will still throw a fit. What they need is a good spanking! ;)

Shelton should be offended by the $1, $2, $20, $50, $100 bills. Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Grant, and Franklin, were all slave owners.

With the workplace being a government agency, this might stand in the workplace.

Veterans Assn v New Rochelle, 13-cv-5241, SDNY (22 Dec 2014) gadsden flag

On March 21, 2013, Plaintiffs held a flag ceremony at the Armory at which they retired a tattered American Flag and replaced it with a new one that had been donated by United Veterans to the City. (Id.) Below the American Flag, United Veterans hung a historical American flag known as the “Gadsden Flag.” (Id. ¶ 38.) The Gadsden Flag is named after Christopher Gadsden, a Revolutionary War colonel who gave it to the commander-in-chief of the Continental Navy before the Navy’s first-ever mission in 1775. (Id. ¶¶ 39, 44.) The flag is yellow and depicts a coiled rattlesnake above the words “Don’t Tread On Me.” (Id. ¶ 39.) The Gadsden Flag “is of particular importance, meaning and relevance to the New Rochelle Armory” because it is one of only a few U.S. naval armories still in existence. (Id. ¶¶ 46-47.) Plaintiffs’ purpose in flying the Gadsden Flag at the Armory was “to honor and represent our Nation’s proud history and strength, as well as the sacrifices of the many Navy and Marine Corps veterans who have served under the Gadsden Flag throughout our Nation’s history.” (Id. ¶ 48; see id. ¶ 76.)

A few days after the flag ceremony, on March 27, 2013, Defendant Strome, the City Manager, emailed Plaintiff Parente that he had received numerous complaints about the Gadsden Flag displayed at the Armory. (Id. ¶ 53.) He stated that “in your email to me relative to the ceremony last week, you only mentioned that you would be replacing the American Flag and never mentioned this flag,” and that he had been told that it was associated with the Tea Party and had a political message. (Id.) Mr. Strome further stated that he had “directed the City’s Department of Public Works to remove this flag from the Armory flagpole.” (Id.) Mr. Parente, who is not a member of the Tea Party (id. ¶ 72), replied that the Gadsden Flag has deep-rooted military significance, is non-partisan and pre-dates the Tea Party (id. ¶ 54). The following day, Mr. Strome telephoned Mr. Parente and told him that the flag could remain flying. (Id. ¶ 55.) Later that day, however, Mr. Strome emailed Mr. Parente and told him that “a majority of the New Rochelle City Council has requested that the flag be removed [and as] a result, the Public Works Department will remove the flag.” (Id. ¶ 56.) The flag was taken down from the flagpole later that day. (Id. ¶ 59.)

The Veterans Association lost at the District Court and on appeal, and SCOTUS denied cert.

In Veterans, essentially the armory was a government-owned building and "because the Free Speech Clause does not restrict government speech, forum analysis does not apply at all when the governent is speaking for itself."

A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.
