Goodyear Responds To Backlash Over Apparent Anti-Conservative, Cop Bias Following Trump Call To Boycott

Goodyear responded to backlash and a call for a national boycott from President Donald Trump on Wednesday, issuing a lengthy statement explaining that they ask associates to “refrain from workplace expressions in support of political campaigning” and “advocacy” that “fall outside the scope of racial justice and equality issues,” seemingly referencing BLM and LGBT activism.

On Tuesday, a local news station in Topeka, Kansas, reported on an apparent diversity training seminar at the Topeka Goodyear plant which allegedly included a slide outlining the company’s “zero-tolerance policy.” An alleged leaked image from the training lists Black Lives Matter and LGBT pride messages as “acceptable,” whereas pro-police Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, and MAGA attire as “unacceptable.”
