Jesus you're down to the third definition in one dictionary. I've seen some weak ass internet lawyering in my time but holy shit.
Why not just be honest about things? You've gotten convinced by right wing political narratives about what BLM is and because of culture war politics you want to repress this cultural artifact?
So this is just a political faction using fear and intimidation to repress culture. Go ahead with your silly "the rules are the rules" bullshit, but it's obvious that many cultural adornments are considered acceptable by Amazon except this particular one because they're afraid of a violent political faction or are perhaps in agreement with that political faction. Either way it's a political faction repressing culture, ie. Culture War. It's not even like anyone's subtle about their motives in all of this. Why are you trying so hard to be?
If you believe that the rule is being applied unfairly, then you might want to reach out to the lawyers that took the case to court... You know since the case was readily dismissed they might want your legal insight. Maybe they'll sign you on as partner!
Or... It's as simple as it seems. The employee broke the policy... and was fired for cause after failing to remedy.
Ah yes.. the MAGA losers turned me! That must be it. Not that I know how to read policies before I start working for a company... or actively participate in my job in a meaningful way.
Sigh... I swear this was already covered... Nothing with logos/branding. Just because you find value in it doesn't make it appropriate.
The workplace isn't the place to have your "culture war". If you want to "war" at work... don't be surprised when you get fired.
Edit: The sad part about all of this... I fucking HATE Bezos/Amazon. But you're all so fucking stuck on this shit that you think I'm defending them. I'm not. I wish them to fail in the most spectacular way possible. But really? We're all up and arms about a fucking dress code? Seriously? fucking 20 years ago I was bussing tables at a steakhouse and guess what... There was a fucking dress code. This isn't something new.
