EEOC Denies
Discrimination
Claim Black
Mountain, NC -
This morning, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
officially denied Curtis Storey's claim of discrimination. Earlier
this year Mr. Storey was asked to remove Confederate flag stickers from
his truck and lunch box at his security guard job.
Curtis Storey and the SLRC considered this action by
the EEOC predictable. The EEOC is more than happy to cloak the sins of
Sony and Burns Security because they believe their own propaganda that
the Confederate Flag would cause a "racially hostile working
environment." The EEOC is therefore unwilling to follow its own
regulations that require that the terms of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
be interpreted broadly. The EEOC will grant Storey a "right to
sue" letter. The complaint must be filed in federal court within 90
days.
Storey says the attitude of the people at the EEOC
is one of "indifference." Along with his complaint form, Storey
submitted extra papers explaining in detail the facts of his case.
When Storey asked the EEOC employee if she had read his explanation, she
told him, "not yet." Lyons spent 10 minutes lecturing the EEOC
investigator this morning on the basic tenets of civil rights law to no
avail. "They just don't get it," Lyons remarked.
All persons who love liberty in the state of
Pennsylvania should step up to support Mr. Storey and his family in this
time of trial. Storey deserves his day in court.
