POLL: Will Joe Biden still be the Democratic Party's 
presidential candidate when we get to November?
The company came under fire this week for its recent "zero-
tolerance" policy that banned overt support for police officers 
or MAGA hats, but expressed approval for social justice measures 
such as Black Lives Matter.

What are the new details?
In the newly released audio posted by WIBW-TV in Topeka, Kansas, 
an unidentified instructor can be heard telling employees that 
they are permitted to express their views on social justice or 
inequity matters on attire — but only if it's the "right" kind 
of social justice and inequity, such a supporting Black Lives 
Matter or LGBTQ issues.

"Some people may wish to express their views on social justice 
or inequity or equity issues such as black lives matter or LGBTQ 
pride on their face coverings, shirts or wristbands," the 
instructor can be heard telling employees. "That will be deemed 
approved because it applies with a zero-tolerance stance."

"However," the trainer can be heard adding, "if any associate 
wears all, blue, white lives matter shirts or face coverings, 
that will be not appropriate."

The unidentified instructor goes on to explain that such zero-
tolerance rules were put into place to encourage harmony in the 
workplace.

"The rules around now what you can wear. Let's try and comply 
with these so you know everybody feels good in this factory. I 
want to make sure guys, think about what we do in this factory, 
in this factory right," the instructor adds. "We all work 
together to make tires, that's what we do. That's what we get 
paid to do. So, let's continue to do that and do the right thing 
and keep this place what it has always been, a good place to 
work."

You can listen to the full audio at WIBW.

Anything else?
President Donald Trump blasted Goodyear on Wednesday and called 
for a boycott of the company because of the training graphic 
that appeared to support Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ, but 
banned MAGA-wear and more.

Also, on Wednesday, the company released a statement insisting 
that its corporate office, which is based in Akron, Ohio, 
neither created or distributed the slide.
