Um, an employer’s employment policy?

Some on here were very supportive of individuals being fired due to having confederate flag memorabilia on their vehicles (and even homes) on the premise of employer's rights.. Appears said support does not flow both ways when it comes to employment policies.

You have two symbols, both considered oppressive and both with controversy, think they should be looked at the same. If symbol A can have fines/firings by the employer due to fear of profit loss then symbol B should work the exact same way.

I'm thinking it should depend on where the symbol is displayed.....someone with objectionable bumper sticker on their car in the employee lot or flag on their home should be nobody's business IMO.    

Wearing that same symbol on a shirt where customers are likely to see it  is another thing and companies should be able to have a dress code for workers who serve the customer.   As for the NFL....if players want to take a knee in the dressing room while the anthem is playing outside...have at it,  but once they are on the field in the presence of customers, the owner should be able to determine what is acceptable.

I don’t think the two are analogous. If a person is fired becuase of a flag they choose to fly on their own property, be it a personal vehicle or house, I think that’s different becuase such a policy arguably would exceed their scope of employment and perhaps be invalidated on those grounds. I’m not saying it couldn’t happen, but it would raise entirely different issues.

Also, to my knowledge, nfl players aren’t being threatened with losing their jobs through this new policy.

Am I making sense?

I have no problem with that. But since you brought him up, my boy has a Nobel Peace Prize. And your boy THINKS everyone says he should win one. 

My boy didn’t have to pay off porn stars. Your boy did.

My boy wasn’t accused of raping a 13 year old girl or sexually assaulting over a dozen women. Your boy was. 

My boy hasn’t had three wives. Your boy has. 

My boy didn’t defraud college students with a fake University. Your boy did.

So if we are measuring for sainthood I think that my boy out measures yours by leaps and bounds.

You just can't see to get it . I don't care what he did prior to getting elected as long as it wasn't a crime. My boy has achieved more accomplishments in a year and a 1/2 as POTUS than your boy did in eight years.

Enjoy your hate. The best part of my waking up every day is all my undeserved blessing and Trump as my Pres. That isn't going to change unless Trump is actually convicted of some crime as Pres. So continue your rants if it makes you happy. Moving on for my whiskey and cigar nightcap while you wallow in misery and insults. Goodnite.

I don’t really count undoing what Obama did as accomplishments. But then again, I’m not a angry,white, racist Republican.

Hate to say it but kinda sound like an angry black racist democrat....and it's kind of unbecoming for someone who declares that she is an educator.

Your perception is not reality. But fwiw, I teach a race of students that Trump has repeatedly insulted.

I'm glad that you do, but I wonder if you could teach white children and be objective about them.  The way you generalize about whites makes you unqualified to be a teacher.....and yep that's my perception but I would hate to be the parent of a child under your tutelage.

Only God knows who you are of course,  and all I know about you is what you say and how you treat other people on this forum....especially any that you disagree with, ......showing them little respect, making gross assumptions about their true beliefs and apparently giving little thought to the possibility that you might not have all he facts.  

You have a mean mouth and a closed mind....at least that is how you portray yourself on this site.

You do realize this is a smack talk forum, right?  I’m sure no one in this forum behaves at their jobs the way they do here. I’ve had people like you attack my job performance and even my diabetic child so you can spare me your remarks about how I can’t possibly be a good educator because I express my political views in a smack talk forum. But it is intersting to note that you are concerned with my character as an educator but not at all concerned about the character of the President of the United States. As a matter of fact, I never notice anyone attacking the way men do their jobs in here, so is it because I’m a woman with an opinion? Hypocrisy?

He fully endorses the President’s bigotry, classlessness and  corruption. Loves getting judgemental with those here who don’t, though.

You are who you are not just here of course.....I'm just noting how you portray yourself...smack talk or not....even in defense of yourself,  you come across as an abused person to justify being nasty to others.  That might be the way things have been for you but it's worth the effort to rise above that.  

None the less, you trot out the racist comment at every turn which is a cheap attack.....so,  I doubt you can keep your mouth under control on your job either if someone disagrees with you.  I  suspect that everyone knows this about you....  and likely feels they have to tip toe around to keep from setting you off.  As I say, this is perception....but read your own posts over a period of time and think about it.  JMO....

A bet more than a few folks believe I absolutely nailed it. Funny how you like, support and defend clueless asses that share your bigotry and disregard for honesty and corruption.

I’m completely aware that attacks become personal when they can no longer defend their position.

Yes, it is just your OPINION. And I’m fully aware that personally attacking me is nothing more than your inability to defend your position. And since you seem so fond of analyzing my posts, I wonder if you have noticed that I post on a thread then one of the right wingnuts here goes on the attack, quoting me. You know, kinda like you just did. 

You are welcome to think what you like about me. As I said in another post, which clearly you must have read since you’ve presented your analysis of my posts, there was only one person on this board who knew me on a personal level, and he is no longer with us. So your perception is not reality. But feel free to keep on attacking me on a personal level, it says more about you than it does about me.

You are better than this 64.  At least I thought so.
