Mississippi Man Fired Because of Wearing Racist Shirt to Vote

The Regional One Health hospital in Memphis has fired an employee after an image of the shirt he wore to the voting polls went viral. Clayton Hickey wore a shirt with a Confederate flag and a noose to go vote this week.


Good for the hospital in realizing that “Regional One Health holds employees to a high standard. We are committed to upholding our mission to provide compassionate care and exceptional services to all,” the statement continued. “This includes fostering a safe and protected work and care environment for all. Behaviors contrary to these principles are unacceptable and will not be tolerated."
