A recent court ruling has brought attention to a lawsuit filed by a Whole Foods worker regarding the wearing of 'Black Lives Matter' masks. The worker's lawsuit was initially dismissed, but has now been revived by the court.
The controversy began when the worker, employed at a Whole Foods store owned by Amazon.com, was told by management that he could not wear a face mask with the words 'Black Lives Matter' while on the job. The worker argued that this violated his right to free speech and was a form of discrimination.
