EEOC: Wearing Don't Tread on Me T-Shirt = racial harassment

[RicInOR]

Private employers beware. Your federal government is restricting your employee's right to expression of political speach. And if you don't enforce this, you too could be cited, fined, etc.

Wearing 'Don't Tread on Me' insignia could be punishable racial harassment




"Instead, this is a case about the rules that all employers, public or private,must follow, on pain of massive legal liability. The harassment law rules (which, as I noted, are the same for private employers as for the federal government) are imposed by the government acting as sovereign — the area where the First Amendment should provide the most protection — not just the government acting as employer."

Besides the over reaching taking place here, the fact of the matter is the invasion of State Sovereignty in defining employee, employer laws as to what's acceptable!

Well, I'll start wearing my Gadsden patch more often at PSU now. Good luck telling me to check my privilege.

Maybe some folks find that Black Lives Matter tee shirts equal racial harassment?
Just saying...

It's can't be coincidence how they are simultaneously trying to pry out the snakes fangs, while treading on it more and more.

Oh well , if it gets deleted it gets deleted , no big thing in the end. Thanks for the warning.

My point being , that anyone can find something that can be seen as racial harassment in anything , if they look hard enough.

As far as BLM goes, I find their name racially exclusive.
All lives matter in my outlook, regardless of skin color , creed , background etc ...
If I wore a shirt that stated White Lives Matter , I wonder just how fast I'd be sued or worse ....

People can go way overboard on reading way too much into a shirt , flag , or just about anything else.

It's all about being P.C!!! that's all it ever has been about! Back when I was a wee little shaver, some really Old Lady took offence to my BatMan tee shirt, because he wore a mask, and she was offended by that and told my mom to take me home and change that shirt! We need to Un P.C our selves, and say what needs sayin, If folks would grow a pair, and stop getting butt hurt about what some one says or does, we might be in a better place! STOP BEING P.C!!!

Why be Politically Correct , when you can be right?

Significant because of the message, AND my ancestry!
