Last straw, supervisor wants me to remove American Flag lapel pin!

So I like dressing formal, yet conservative. No American flag cufflinks, American flag suspenders, or American flag pocket squares.

On the first day I came in wearing dress pants without belt loops. Pants had suspender buttons and silk braces. I was told to change and come back on account of the braces.

Second day I was told to remove my plain, white pocket square and ruby cufflinks.

Third day I was told to remove plain silver cufflinks, and the supervisor commented that my suits were "too well tailored" and that he could supply me with a gift card to buy factory "sack" suits at the local department store.

Today I was told that he didn't notice my American Flag lapel pin before, but I would not be able to wear it. The American Flag lapel pin is in waving position, with all 50 stars on the flag.

I am going to write a letter to HIS supervisor letting him know about my supervisor's anti-americanism. How could he not stand for me supporting the men and women defending our country and our great nation that allows people like him to engage in free enterprise?

If I am still not allowed to wear even my American flag lapel pin, I will not be working there anymore, and I will encourage as many people as I can to not consult there and lobby hard against any bailouts they ask for in the future.
