Taco Bell considers revising rules after employee records manager firing him for refusing to remove BLM mask

Even though conservative Americans are being fired from their jobs for simply criticizing the Black Lives Matter cult in their private time, what concerns left-wing Hollywood celebrities like comedian/rapper Elijah Daniel are those liberal Americans who’re being fired for bringing their devotion to the cult into their workplace.

Take a young black man named Denzel Skinner. Last week he published a live-stream video to Facebook complaining about how he was being fired from an Ohio Taco Bell for purposefully bringing politics to work via a BLM-themed mask.

For whatever reason, Skinner’s video suddenly went viral Thursday morning after it caught the attention of Daniel, a far-left Hollywood type who hates Trump and who only a day earlier had mocked a cop for having a temporary emotional breakdown.

Look:

Apparently, Daniel expects an explanation from Taco Bell.

The explanation can be found in the clip Daniel shared, which showed an employee trying to explain to Skinner that he’d been terminated because the manager didn’t want him bringing politics into the building. And yes, BLM is 100 percent political.

“I’m standing up for what’s right, so I’m not taking it off,” Skinner said.

“You can’t bring politics into the building,” the employee replied.

“I’m not bringing politics. This is what I’m standing for. I’m not taking it off,” Skinner replied.

“Then there’s nothing I can do for you,” the employee responded.

This seems pretty clear-cut.

You may watch the full video below, though it’s exceptionally long and contains numerous instances of Skinner just staring at the camera.

Though the video just went viral, local news station actually already covered it last week.

“If the governor and governments are requiring us to wear masks, we should be able to wear any type of mask that you want,” Skinner said to local station WFMJ, signaling that he believes he should be exempt from any rules.

“And not only that, I still want everyone to believe that we still need justice for what is happening in this world and people need to be held accountable for whatever mistakes that they make. Black lives are going to always matter. Not just when some people want it to matter. It will always matter.”

Skinner also provided WFMJ a copy of a mask announcement he’d received from his boss prior to the incident.

“Masks are required not only by the states but by Taco Bell and KFC. They must be worn properly at all times. We have been receiving multiple guest complaints about employees wearing masks under their chins or not over their nose,” the announcement reportedly read.

“Team, I know it’s hot and uncomfortable but unfortunately, this is what has to be done. Not wearing your mask correctly is grounds for termination. Businesses are under a microscope right now, and we must follow the rules… masks/gloves/food safety!!!”

The announcement didn’t contain any “fine print,” Skinner complained.

One could argue that his manager’s request that he not wear a politically-themed mask was the fine print.

When contacted by another station, WOWK, Taco Bell’s corporate announcement said last week that they were reviewing the situation.

“We are disappointed to learn what took place in Youngstown,” corporate reportedly said. “We are working with our franchisee that operates this location to understand what happened. ”

“We are committed to fighting racial injustice and hosting open forums to give restaurant teams an opportunity to discuss racism in America. Our priority is to be an inclusive brand while keeping team members and customers safe.”

The company’s “disappointment” and use of left-wing terminology strongly suggests Skinner will wind up getting his job back and the manager will wind up losing her job.

So does this tweet posted by Taco Bell amid the George Floyd “protests,” riots and looting around the start of the month:

“As this is a fluid situation, we’re in the process of considering the need to revise mask and uniform requirements to address recent concerns,” Taco Bell added in its statement to WOWK.

Meanwhile, as men like Skinner and former Publix employee Quinton Desamours are being treated like some sort of heroic figures for bringing politics to work, men like Shallow Brook Intermediate School Principal Scott D’Orazio are being targeted for termination for tweeting about BLM in their private time.

“The Northeastern superintendent is recommending the school board fire an intermediate school principal accused of sharing a social media post calling Black Lives Matter a ‘lie,'” The York Dispatch reported Monday.

“At Monday’s virtual meeting, the school board unanimously authorized the administration to summon Shallow Brook Intermediate School Principal Scott D’Orazio for a hearing before the board.”

What D’Orazio had specifically done is simply retweet the following video from two black conservatives who have no patience for BLM and its Marxist agenda:

As of Thursday, neither Daniel nor any other left-wing celebrity had spoken out in D’Orazio’s defense.
