Not one part of that law protects from political affiliations.The employment section of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, known as Title VII, prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, and religion, and also prohibits employers from retaliating against any employee who exercises his or her rights under Title VII.
A company is out for itself, They are not going to have a open racist work for them when that can hurt there brand. Doesn't matter if you are at the job site or not. When you work for a company you represent that company.
By ur logic Toy's R Us should allow child molesters to work there...

You're right. It's not the EEOC but rather the CSRA that protects employees from being discriminated against for their political affiliation.
"The CSRA prohibits any employee who has authority to take certain personnel actions from discriminating for or against employees or applicants for employment on the bases of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age or disability. It also provides that certain personnel actions can not be based on attributes or conduct that do not adversely affect employee performance, such as marital status and political affiliation."
And while racism itself is not a political affiliation, there is plenty of racial motivation in politics. National Socialism itself is proof. Nazis don't just happen to be racist. You can't be a Nazi and not be a racist. And it's a political party. So is the KKK. They've both been active in American politics on some level or another since they came into existence. Now obviously.. if you're a Nazi and you work in customer service, your worldview might conflict with your ability to do your job, especially if you have a giant swastika tattooed on your face or something. But these clean cut white kids holding tiki torches in Charlottesville might have a case to make in court if they lose their jobs because they attended a white nationalist political rally. The letter of the law must be followed at all times, even when it comes to Nazis because if one group can be excluded from their rights based on their beliefs, then it stands that any group can be as well.

Uff the canadians are just as bad, but in the other direction tbh, going out of their way to take in a stupidly small percentage of european refugees, personally id rather see trumps idiocy than trudeaus overdrive political correctness.
It makes more sens ethat its canada really.
The Civil Service Reform Act is about federal employees. Employees in the public sector have first amendment protection because they work for the government, and it would be a violation of the first amendment if the government discriminated based on that.
Flag dude is a private sector employee. CRSA doesn't apply.
As im sitting here right now reading this with my roommate who is a black american and laughing. We see the confederate flag as a rebel flag or for southern pride. Slaves have been used since the beginning of time no matter their color. We have given so much power to the meaning of certain stereotypes, flags, symbols, and words. But we have the ability to take away that power as a human race. Black Americans have learned to use the world nigga among their own culture in non racial connotation but from a social stand point its still a racial term. So black people are racist to right? If my roommate gets a swastika tattoo for a symbol of luck does really matter if the black culture hates on him for it because to him it means a sign of luck? As humans we just need something to hate on and will never stop it will involve into something else down the road.
I'm confused, this happened in Canada right? Why are people discussing the Civil Rights Act as if it has any bearing on this?
It makes as much sense as you arguing that there was freedom of speech under communist rules, specially during the time of stalin. You had the freedom to say "blah blah blah, communism sux, blah blah" but you weren't free of consequences, like getting shot in the head of being imprisoned if you were veeeery lucky.
If that's the freedom of speech then, well... we have a different vision of what a "freedom of speech" is.
Hmm, lets see. Both the stories have two guys who are protesting by controversial methods for their own specific causes in the name of Free Speech. Also, you're correct that they can boycott, but it doesn't change the fact that no NFL team should've have to hire Mr. Kaepernick based off pressure from groups like the NAACP.
There are laws prohibiting discrimination in hiring someone because of their actual or assumed political beliefs or activities. The NFLs' TV ratings have seen a significant drop due to people siding with Kaepernick in his stance. As more players continue to put pressure on the NFL, you will see the NFL change its' tune.

Well it should. With as highly politicized as everything is now in this country, your political affiliation is just as big of an identifier as your religion and sexual orientation. As long as it doesn't interfere with your ability to do you job, you should be free to be whatever you want to be, even if that means being a Nazi or Klansman. And by the same token, the anarcho-communist Antifa kids should get that same liberty despite being just as ideologically dangerous as the fascists they're clashing with.
