American Flag Unwelcome in California Capitol
Tea Parties protesting our government’s fiscal irresponsibility took place throughout the nation on Tax Day, April 15th. Sacramento hosted one of the largest events with over 150,000 citizens in attendance.
Despite the peaceful display of the right to assemble, there was also a display made by the Capitol security forces. Capitol security responded to the commotion outside by assuring that no sign of political disagreement would cross the threshold of the state Capitol, including the illustrious American flag.
Outrage has broken out due to this political action made against patriotism by Capitol security. Capitol Resource Institute distributed hundreds of flags to attendees only to be notified that they would have to be discarded in order to enter the public building. Karen England of CRI writes, “It is hard not to conclude that there is an aversion to patriotism.”
