San Diego State University sophomore Forced To Remove American Flag From Balcony Because ‘Foreign People Could Find It Offensive’
A San Diego State University sophomore was forced to remove an American flag from his balcony after apartment managers said foreigners could find the display offensive.
Brad Smith, who had just moved into the Boulevard 63 apartment complex in San Diego last month, told ABC 10 News that he received a written notice to remove the flag a few days ago.
“We were then told that it was for political reasons and that the flag could offend foreign people that live here, foreign exchange students,” Smith said. “I’ve had friends and family fight to defend that flag.”
While Smith’s lease agreement with the apartment’s management does have a clause that says “no signs or other personal property may be kept outside the premises,” attorney Christian Curry told ABC. that the clause comes close to infringing on First Amendment rights.
“Clearly, they want to keep it clean and that’s something they want to accomplish,” Curry said. “It’s a compelling reason, but it’s hardly a reason that’s going to overcome your free speech.”
Management initially told ABC that anyone who hangs a flag would be asked to take it down; however, it looks like the management capitulated after the media highlighted the story. An associate of the owners of the apartment complex told ABC there was a “misunderstanding,” and that the flag would be allowed to fly.


Wild Thing’s comment.…………
Our colors take precedence over any “foreign people” and there BS.
Many Americans died so that we would have the right to fly our flag anytime anywhere.
We won the wars , but we are losing our nation.
GOD HELP US!

This PC crap may be reaching a boiling point. The liberals abuse it and “moderate” Repubs fear opposing it. Maybe this November’s elections will get us mors non-PC politicians. And not the silly “compassionate conservative” types.
