 Wis. Custodian Who Claims She Lost Her Job for Displaying ‘Stand With Walker’ Sign Speaks Out

We read:
"A high school custodian in Wisconsin who said she lost her job for having a pro-Gov. Scott Walker sign in her car said Friday she wants “liberal schoolteachers” to know they can’t “push” people around for having different opinions.

Mary Taylor was a custodian at Whitewater High School in southern Wisconsin. She claimed earlier this month she was fired by the private company that employs her over the “Stand with Walker” sign in her car. The Republican governor is facing a recall effort to oust him from office.

Taylor said during an appearance on Fox News her boss gave her two options: “She told me that I was to take the sign out of the back window and put it on the floor of the car or I could park across the street.”

“I have my rights to put signs in my car, I know that’s my right,” she said. “Of course I stand for Scott, for Scott Walker, so I felt that it was necessary for me to provide information for other people that I indeed do stand for Scott Walker.”

Pointing to the recall stickers on display on teachers’ cars at the school, Taylor said she refused to take the sign down and was fired as a result.

Now, she wants justice.  "Justice for me is just to hopefully let people know that liberal school teachers and liberals in general cannot push the public around when they have different opinions other than theirs,” she said.

Can they be any more obvious in their Intolerance?

If the school has a "no political bumper stickers" policy and enforces it EVENLY, they'd be in the right.

I also believe if she was working for a privately-owned company on privately-owned property, they'd have a right to say what she advertised on her car while on their property.

It's pretty clear the school was off-base on this one, though!

The unions have to be brought to their knees. They were bad before obama,but now the fourth reich is here, they are thuggish.

Let me get this straight. In other words, if the woman owned a Ford automobile and the private business (let's say Toyota) did not allow any other makes of cars in their parking lot, that would be OK?

BTW, Micro$oft already does that with Apple products with their employees.

Again the conservative mantra: business trumps people.

Anon 2:10: The Microsoft policy just says that corporate funds can not be used to purchase Apple products.. It says nothing about banning all Apple products by all employees..
