I work for a government agency in SW Washington. I was told yesterday that I could no longer wear a hat (or anything else) with the letters "NRA" if the article of clothing was visible to my coworkers. Apparently one of them feels intimidated by letters of the alphabet and that I am creating a divisive and hostile work environment. There is nothing in the personnel manual that covers this situation.
Management is not willing to provide me with a list of similar letters or organizations that they feel are not suitable for the workplace.
Oh yeah, as the majority of the folks are working from home, I see most of them only twice a week on a Zoom conference for maybe 30 minutes.
I'm feeling that my 1st amendment rights are being trampled by jack booted thugs. I know that the amendment refers to Congress making laws banning speech, but the common use is otherwise.
Anyone been through this?
