“This flag is so often mistaken for the Confederate flag and people are often offended by it before they realize that they are mistaken,” Kjersten Offenbecker, owner of The Nordic Pineapple bed and breakfast, wrote on Facebook last week. She said she was forced to “find a less conspicuous place” for the flag after what amounts to constant harassment over it.

The Nordic-themed businessreported receiving“at least a dozen hateful emails,” and a constant barrage of verbal attacks for the Norwegian flag, which merely happens to be red, with a blue and white cross. It had long flown beside the American flag over the boutique hotel's front steps.
“We love being members of the St. Johns community and are heartbroken to have had to make this decision,” Offenbecker said.
