A worker at the National Library of Scotland has been reprimanded for displaying the Scottish national flag on his desk on the basis that the display maybe be considered racist.
The unnamed worker had customized his workspace with three flags and a red tartan before being made to remove the items. An email sent to all staff at the library noted that management “was very disappointed to see that (staff] continue to have inappropriate material bedecking their workstation. This includes several saltires and a lion rampant, and the personalisation of a chair with red tartan.”
According to the Scotsman, the email concluded by reminding employees of the policy of not having anything on desks which could be regarded as “sexist or racist”.
What would William Wallace think?

I think the supervising librarians in Scotland need to read a little bit more.
I am lost what is sexist or racist about the Scottish Flag is their history a sexist or racist one? I always thought the Scottish people were kind of laid back, left everybody alone, and took care of their own am I wrong?
true true so true thank you for getting back with me.
SO MUCH FOR FREEDOM OF SPEACH AT THE SCOTTISH NATIONAL LIBRARY. WITH ALL THE THINGS IN THE WORLD TO BE WORRIED ABOUT, SOME MBA IS WORRIED ABOUT EMPLOYEES WHO SHOW NATIONAL PRIDE…THE ONE THAT WROTE THE MEMO AND REPRIMANDED THE EMPLOYEE SHOULD BE TERMINATED NOW.
