Lawsuit: Delta Fired Employee For Anti-Trump FB Post

CNN reports:

An employment discrimination lawsuit filed by a former Delta Air Lines flight attendant says she was fired for posting an image of former President Donald Trump wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood on her personal Facebook page.

The plaintiff, Leondra Taylor, who is Black, admitted she posted a cartoon image on her personal Facebook page. The image was created by editorial cartoonist Aislin and published by the Montreal Gazette on October 1, 2020.

A month later, Delta notified Taylor it intended to “suspend her employment,” and a manager stated that her “political posts were racially motivated,” which was given as the reason for her termination, the lawsuit reads.
