Target says sorry after firing woman over what was on her name tag

Fargo, ND -- A woman was fired from Target for wearing "Men Can Have Babies Too" on her name tag.

Just kidding--she was fired for having the words "trust in Jesus" below her name. If she had the former saying, I would likely not be writing this because she would have likely kept her job.

But now Target has issued an apology to Denise Kendrick, who was initially fired for "violating the company's dress code, according to KVLY. She said the firing came after a manager approached her about the tag.

“I replied, ‘Well, I’ve seen people with rainbows on theirs. I’m going to continue to wear this name tag,’ and then they said, ‘Well, you can’t work here anymore,’” she told the news outlet.

Ms. Kendrick said the manager refused to provide documentation explaining the reason for her firing. She also asked for a written statement as to why she was terminated, but she said the manager refused to provide it.

However, Kendrick said she was given a paper with a list of contact information regarding Target’s dress code policy.

“They gave me this paper with all these phone numbers on it and said, ‘If you have any questions about the violation of the dress code, just call one of these numbers.’ And he just kept repeating it, and we just kept going back and forth, and it was going nowhere,” she said.

Kendrick said on the day of her firing, she was wearing a plain red sweatshirt, jeans and her name tag...

However, after reviewing the incident, Target apologized and offered Kendrick her job back.

Kendrick said she didn't understand the manager’s actions because she had worn other religion-themed items previously with no issues. “I’ve worn Christian-themed shirts before to work for months and have never had an issue. I’m wondering why the name tag was any different,” she explained.

Upon reviewing the incident, Target issued a statement with the apology:

“Upon learning of the situation, we conducted a review and determined that the team member should not have been terminated. We apologized to her and offered to reinstate her immediately. We are taking the appropriate steps to address the actions taken by the individual leader involved in this situation and are working with the store to ensure our policies are appropriately followed moving forward.”

Kendrick has not indicated whether she will return to Target, who apparently have more respect for men who think they're women than for many who believe Jesus is the son of God. 

For now, there are no further details about the incident, but it seems as if Kendrick did not violate Target's dress code policy. Rather it was the manager who took it upon himself to make up a dress code violation because he is not a fan of Jesus and may, in fact, be a fan of people with gender dysphoria and perhaps other mental disorders since he did not have issues with people who expressed their support of this mentally ill community since he didn't show the same treatment to the LGBTQ+1XYZ-42&/ community.

Unfortunately, Kendrick's case is all too common as the "woke" often try to coerce others into abiding by their radical ideology. Imagine, a manager was willing to take away a person's income for wearing a name tag that would obviously not threaten normal customers.

Although Target did the right thing with an apology, it isn't known what the fate of the woke manager was or whether Ms. Kendrick returned to her job.

Would you?
