Virginia Judges Orders American Flag Be Removed From Courthouse

“Not only do we not want it on the wall, we don’t want it in the courthouse,” the sheriff stated he was told.

One of the judges stated that the lobby courthouse was “not the appropriate place for the display.” The judge also said that the judges didn’t want any type of memorial or display visible to visitors when they walk into the building because “you will have to allow all types” of displays and it “sets the wrong precedent.”

“They expect my deputies to put their life on the line for a judge. If somebody was going to come into a courtroom with a gun, the deputy is supposed to stand in front of the judge and take a bullet, but yet they won’t let us have our flag, saluting public safety? To me, that’s a slap in the face,” Sheriff Watson said.

This is yet another story where our nation’s flag is relegated to insignificance or even scorn.
