America Has Become A Racial Dictatorship

I agree of course, but it begs this question.
Kroger just paid a settlement after firing persons who refused to wear Gay Pride pins at work. Phranny, tell us where this stops. Tell us of the 100 other pins that many of us, including you, Phranny, would refuse to wear at work.
What if Shav's employer can force him to wear a pin that says Jesus is Lord. The cou ...[text shortened]... ld rail on but can you answer this question straight out? And I applaud your well-written post here.

Didn't it end with the settlement telling the employers it was illegal?

@averagejoe1 said
Yes. I am asking if it would likewise be legal to ask them to wear other kinds of buttons? Who decides? Are libs going to create panels to 'dictate' such matters? Would Marauder not call this dictating.....the court telling this business what to do?

Employers should decide. In this case the court upheld a constitutional protection of religious liberty. This is not a place where more government oversight is a good idea.

You picked a good example that shows our society is not whatever ben stein thinks it is.

@averagejoe1 said
Open up, Marauder. See my post here, the court has dictated to Kroger that they can require an employee to support Gay Pride.
Can you give us your thoughts on that? Can they tell me to wear a pin that says Atheism Rules?

@no1marauder said
Actually the settlement did exactly the opposite.

It's hard to answer your questions when they are almost always based on your own stupid misconceptions and/or misinformation from right wing media.

EDIT: It appears to me that Kroger merely settled because it was a nuisance; the design on the uniform is pictured here (https://www.hrdive.com/news/the-end-of-the-rainbo ...[text shortened]... nd it's a heart with a few colors, not all of the rainbow, and isn't any type of "Gay Pride" symbol.

@AverageJoe1. Don't leave, Phranny, it can be entertaining. We got one guy here who thinks everyone in the world has a right to housing, and will not relent!!!!!
And several here say that if someone North of town makes $50K, and he finds out that some unknown person on the South side makes $1M, that something should be done about it.
I kid you not.

@averagejoe1 said
Ha. YOU should write a book on Interpretations.

"Appears to me"?haha
and then you decided that the uniform is not gay pride when all the web stories say it is. Geez.

Everybody, believe Marauder, or believe my facts, where I did not say they 'appeared' to do anything. Marauder and Sonhouse are big on telling us why people do things, why Kroger decided to settle. Geez again

Not a single web story said it was a "Gay Pride symbol"; they said the two employees thought it was.

Maybe you should start reading the articles you link to.

Why did Kroger fire them?

@no1marauder said
Read the article.

Then look at the damn insignia.

Then find me somewhere, anywhere, describing a heart with four colors in a ring around it as a "Gay Pride" symbol.

I'll wait.

@averagejoe1 said
No, no, no no.....I simply asked why they were fired.

"The workers had a sincerely held religious belief that homosexuality is a sin, the commission said, and believed the Kroger logo was a rainbow that represented support for LGBTQ individuals.

I suppose these people will get their way, there is nothing this country will not cave in to, no matter how ridiculous the demand.
