"Be careful what you say. Be careful what you wear. Be careful what you believe.In an era when truth is becoming treason, it is unlikely to surprise anyone to learn that the Obama administration is pushing to crack down on complaints of racism, sexism, and belief of traditional gender roles.
Earlier this month, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) pursued a workplace complaint filed by one employee claiming that another employee wearing a cap displaying the Gadsden Flag ("Don't Tread On Me") was creating a 'hostile work environment.'
As reported by Eugene Volokh in the Washington Post, a man filed a formal complaint with the EEOC in January of this year alleging that a co-worker's wearing of a cap with a Gadsden Flag "subjected him to discrimination on the basis of race (African American).'
The unnamed complainant reported that 'he found the cap to be racially offensive to African Americans because the flag was designed by Christopher Gadsden, a 'slave trader & owner of slaves.'"
