Cautioning that the slide had "created some misconceptions about our policies and our company," Goodyear attempted to fob off blame for the policy on an unspecified third party.Buuuut, it's not going very well:
Insisting it "has always wholeheartedly supported both equality and law enforcement and will continue to do so," the company claimed "the visual in question was not created or distributed by Goodyear corporate, nor was it part of a diversity training class."
The employee who originally leaked the slide claimed it was presented by an area manager during diversity training at the company's Topeka plant and that it was produced in its Akron, Ohio corporate office. Goodyear initially declined to comment on the slide's origins when asked about it by local media on Tuesday, but seems to have had a change of heart on seeing the president's call for a boycott the following morning.
However, it stopped short of embracing MAGA hats in the workplace, instead attempting to rationalize the policy it claimed not to have written by reasoning that "zero tolerance for any forms of harassment or discrimination" requires a ban on "political campaigning for any candidate or political party, as well as similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of racial justice and equity issues."
Comment: The sickness of Western culture and "liberal" values becomes more and more evident with each passing day.
A "coming of age" story? With 11 years old dancers?! The producers of the film aren't fooling anybody. Well maybe some.
