Ah, so if I wear a hat at work that says "save babies" and then an organization pops up called "Save babies" and they start donating to politicians, should I no longer be allowed to wear my "Save Babies" hat?
Yup
If the company you're representing would prefer you didn't, then sure.
Let's use another example, if someone was a big supporter of fascism and was wearing a hat or mask that said, "save fascists", would you prefer the store couldn't prevent them from wearing that?
How bad would the phrase have to get to change your mind?
I'd say the difference comes down to choice. You choose to be a fascist. You choose to be a trump supporter. You don't choose to be black. You don't chose to be an infant.
Examples. If you wore a SPLC clothing article, I think the employer would be allowed to object, but if you wore clothing showing support for women, or indigenous people, then they should abide it.
