Home Depot fires man for American flag button that read, “One nation under God”
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A former cashier for The Home Depot who has been wearing a “One nation under God” button on his work apron for more than a year has been fired, he says because of the religious reference. The company claims that expressing such personal beliefs is simply not allowed.
“I’ve worn it for well over a year and I support my country and God,” Trevor Keezor said Tuesday. “I was just doing what I think every American should do, just love my country.”
The American flag button Keezer wore in the Florida store since March 2008 says “One nation under God, indivisible.”
Earlier this month, he began bringing a Bible to read during his lunch break at the store in the rural town of Okeechobee, about 140 miles north of Miami. That’s when he says The Home Depot management told him he would have to remove the button.
Keezer refused, and he was fired on Oct. 23.

Haha!! When the liberal left preaches about “tolerance” for religious beliefs expressed in the workplace, what they mean is “supporting anything which backs our agenda”. Our Democrat rep’s are hacks. There is such a deeply ingrained hypocrisy here… the supporters of such foolish crap don’t even see it. We are entering a DARK AGE.
