“We encourage our students to be politically active. But our employees, there are certain work rules.'

A Suffolk County Community College groundskeeper accused the school of violating his First Amendment rights when he was told he couldn’t wear President Donald Trump’s signature “Make America Great Again” hat to work.

Esposito told News 12 Long Island that the executive dean told his boss he couldn’t wear the hat because it was a “politically identifiable statement.” Esposito said he’s worked at the campus for years, but Sunday was the first time he’d worn his “MAGA” hat to work.

“We encourage our students to be politically active. But our employees, there are certain work rules,” Biondo said. “…We are neither pro-Democrat nor pro-Republican. We’re pro-student.”

Hope he wins

Some dude with a Nazi tattoo was whining and complaining about being burned by directed energy weapons.

I'll let him wear the MAGAt hat, but first he has to shove a KKK robe up his bum to remind him what it means to support racism.

Is there a law that says you have a right to wear whatever you like at work?

I’m guessing the school wouldn’t let him wear his white hood, so this was his second option?

Uniform is a uniform. No political stuff at work? No problem. Just another conservative whiner

Why wear a crap hat?

I think they should have to wear those hats every day, for the rest of their lives

I guess it’s one way to build up your retirement nest egg.

Its inciting racist and preeò

HAHA! He should just bury it in the ground with all of his foolish hopes and dreams.

If it's a uniformly-applied standard, he has no complaint.

Any political attire at work or school shouldn't be permitted
