He now has an attorney, who is threatening to sue on the grounds that Home Depot infringed on Mr. Keezer’s religious freedom. But Home Depot didn’t reject just this religion-themed button.

    Home Depot, like any private company, has the right to enforce the uniform policy of their choice, if Mr. Keezer doesn't care for their policy he is free to find a job elsewhere.

      I hope this Keezer idiot incurs a healthy, life-long dose of unneeded legal bills for his idiocy.

        In the commercial world, image is a very valuable commodity. This is why employers are given almost unlimited discretion with respect to how an employee can represent them.

          The guy certainly has a right to express himself but not at work. I have very definitive views about politics and religion but I always leave them at home while at work. I'm there to make the company that I work for money, not converts or enemies.
