Human interest story.

Phillip Sims said he does not normally drive to work at Turner Industries with the Confederate battle flag flying from his truck, but he said was running late Monday and didn’t have time to remove it, reported WHNT-TV.
Sims said a plant supervisor called him outside to discuss the flag, which he refused to remove.
“’Hey, we like your work here and we like you, but your flag — it’s going to have to go,'” Sims said the supervisor told him. “He said, ‘I hate to be the one to tell you that, but if you don’t I’m going to have to fire you.”
Sims didn’t explain why he had the flag on his flatbed pickup truck over the weekend, but he said he was glad he refused to remove it — even if it meant losing his job.
“I’m unemployed now but I still feel that I made the right decision,” he said.
