Joann Fabrics fires employee who told Idaho mom and son ‘boys can’t wear dresses’
Kansas City Star ^ | SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 | BROOKE BAITINGER

An Idaho mom says she took her 7-year-old son to a craft store to cheer him up after he was bullied at school. They were having a great time scouring the aisles for the perfect fabric for a new Spider-Man dress she was going to make for him, Piper Phillips said in a now-viral TikTok video. But they ran into more bullying when they got to the fabric-cutting counter at the Joann Fabrics in Moscow, Idaho, she told Insider. The incident led Joann’s to fire the worker for making “inappropriate, judgmental and derogatory remarks.”

kids going to continue to get bullied as long as she lets him dress up in dresses with pink butterflies and the like.
Why doesn’t she home school him, so she can let him play dress up every day. then the world does not have to see it.
Lady the world does not have to tiptoe around you and your neuroses.

Your boy is wearing dresses and then expect them to be bullied at school.

What hell is wrong with these idiotic parents.

Should people be bullied? No, but if you send your 7 year old boy
To school in a dress what the hell do you think is going to happen?!?

Want your kid to not be bullied? Forget Joann Fabrics

Put some jeans and tshirts on the kid and stop encouraging him to be the freak

I would wager this employee replaced this mother who appears to be mentally ill(code word leftist) herself at that store.

That people have nothing better to do than this is no longer shocking.

My girlfriend’s granddaughter wanted to wear everything “boy” when she was little. She’d literally take off her dresses in public she hated them so much. At about age 10-12 she turned into girly-girl. Now she’s a great mom and wife.

Recently at a store the clerk was trashing Trump with another clerk. Since he was sharing his opinion as I was there I took the opportunity to educate him on who has the sole authority to declassify anything.

He was clearly not happy with the impromptu class. I never considered calling his manager and having him fired for his opinion.

In my job, I do tend to get into quite a few political conversations with customers. If they start it, I’ll gladly jump in.

The mom is mentally and emotionally ill.

Is there a father in this story?

Or is this yet another Strong, Independent Single Mother?

That’s very honest and Gutsy. I think it’s the way you deal with it that allows for the conversation. Who knows how this worker at Joann’s spoke to the mother. We kind of get the bullet points but don’t really get the guts of the situation most of the time from the media.

“The Idaho ‘fabric technician’ should have kept her fkng mouth shut”.

Or... Maybe it was a “Divine appointment”. Maybe God put her there to say a truthful thing. Maybe it’s the only time the kid ever will hear the truth, remember it, and perhaps consider how he wants to live his life.
