“A Texas man is refusing to remove an American flag from the balcony of his new apartment after management allegedly told him it was “a threat to the Muslim Community.”
According to local outlet KHOU, Duy Tran moved into the Lodge on El Dorado in Webster, Texas, a few days ago and promptly hung a flag on his balcony. He claims the apartment manager told him to remove the flag, but Tran says he’s waiting to see proof that he doesn’t have the right to hang it.
KHOU reported patriotic decorations were visible on other apartments in the complex.
‘While the Lodge on El Dorado admires our resident’s patriotism, we must enforce our property rules and guidelines,’ reads a statement given to the outlet by the management office. ‘Such guidelines maintain the aesthetics of our apartment community and provide for the safety of all residents. The apartment community already proudly displays our country’s flag in a safe and appropriate manner at the entrances to our community.'” *
