Also, this article’s vague, but “no slogans, logos, or advertising except for Whole Foods branding” is Whole Foods’s official dress code. https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/employment-law/pages/whole-foods-black-lives-matter-mask.aspx
The problem with all of these things is always unequal enforcement. For example if the store allowed an employee to wear a thin blue line mask, and fired another employee for a BLM mask
Except the store didn't do that
It's was a dismissed court case... What are you talking about "we don't know" court records are a thing. You can get them directly by submitting a FOIA request.
Or just reading the new articles that spawned from the case.

There's no evidence that it was unfairly applied. And if you have such evidence I'm sure you can submit it to the plaintiff's lawyers and they'll set you up with a sweet payday.
Would ALSO cover "thin blue line" as well btw... Technically it would cover the proper American flag as well...
