If all construction workers were fired for waving confederate flags then all construction documents may as well be in Spanish because there would be no white construction workers left. What else are they gunna do, ban camouflage?
What are you talking about.
They asked the guy to remove the flags while on their property on their dime and he said no.
They fired him.

I was just about to post that. Here in Alabama you can be fired for no reason or any reason as long as it's not a violation of federal law including race, gender or sexuality.

Had it been one of those flags we wouldn't even be having this conversation. Hell, Had these guys done this 6 months ago we wouldn't be talking about it.
You didn't answer the question, you little SJW, you.

That’s when a a supervisor at the Decatur, Ala., plant told him to remove the flag or be fired. He said he refused to remove it, on principle, and was fired.
That was dumb.

I don't agree with firing him over it, but congrats on losing your job over something so dumb, you showed them.
Our company also made some guys take their flags off of their vehicles, which doesn't bother me... Their company, their rules... Tons of people supporting the rebel flag in Bama these days, kinda ridiculous, but to each his own..

If the employer actually said remove the flag or you will be fired, then its a whole new ball game.

Well... Some lawyer is going to make some easy money.
That said, if the employer didn't like it, you should have removed it.

Care to explain?

It's not dumb at all.
White people are sick of being told what is and what isn't acceptable.
Why can't people just mind their own business.
I'm sure there are several things that I could offered over, but guess what?
I don't bc IDGAF what you do.
I have bigger fish to fry.

That's cool, but everyone gets told what is and isn't acceptable. I bet you would love to tell black guys it's not acceptable to wear their pants around their arse but you're too much of a pussy to actually do it.

So if they fired him for wearing his pants too low, then you'd be just as indignant?
ETA goddamn it, poster above me already made the point.
