as she should be,,,

 

[Zander]

Maybe she can get a job with BLM?

 

[CheekyChaton]

Wasn't there something with trump shirts being banned at a company and the deplorables were all up in arms over it? So ban things that you don't agree with but keep propaganda you do support?

There shouldn't be any of this shit allowed while on the job.

The Bureau of land management is a great company to work for. ;-)

 

[DrLove]

Clearly she was fired by a Right Wing Butthole.
But I could be wrong!

Moral narcissist cannot see their own hypocrisy......
To them, ANYTHING supporting their cause is honorable, ALL else criminal. They are incapable of equity and honesty.
Yet, they are demanding they rule the world exclusively.

If it was someone wearing a MAGA hat he'd be calling them heroes.

A democrat win in November will most closely parallel the dictatorship of Idi Amin.

The law is quite clear that employers have the right to tell employees they can't display political messages, or any other kind of messages, at the work place.

A LW Dictatorship on the level of Idi Amin? That'd be interesting!

 

[Lysistrata]

The "Black Lives Matter" slogan actually is not political in a strict sense. It isn't a slogan of any political party and does mention a political candidate. People who support any political party can agree with the sentiment it expresses.

 

[TNHarley]

Wearing stuff like that shouldn't be at the workplace.

 

[Desperado]

Good. Would drive away business.

Exactly If I walked in and saw an employee wearing a BLM anything, I would file a complaint with the manager and take my business elsewhere
