As 24News reported Tuesday, a leaked mandated "diversity training" training session from Goodyear branded “Blue Lives Matter,” “All Lives Matter” and “MAGA” attire “unacceptable,” while deeming Black Lives Matter and LGBT slogans to be “acceptable.”
The leaked slide is of their “zero tolerance” policy towards support for police or conservative values, making clear which opinions are allowed and which aren’t.
Under acceptable: Black Lives Matter (BLM), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride.
Listed as unacceptable: Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, MAGA Attire, Political Affiliated Slogans or Material.
According to a report from WIBW, the person who took the photo of the slide said that it was presented at a Topeka plant by an area manager and says it came from their corporate office out of Akron, Ohio.

Goodyear owns Dunlop.
The Goodyear legal department must be bracing over this stupidity.
Was strongly considering the Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate™ tires when the time came for new shoes for my GT. Hahaha, they are dead to me. Let’s see if Michelin, Continental..... blows it as well
I don’t understand how any publicly traded company can do this stuff and get away with it. They have a fiduciary responsibility to stockholders and making unnecessary policies which alienate half of their potential customer base is completely irresponsible. I would think lawyers would scent blood in the water.
Haven't you gotten the message? "Silence is violence!"
Being apolitical wasn't enough. The woke mob now demands you swear fealty.
Goodyear should put blue lights on the blimp.
All lives matter is hate speech. It is pointless to attempt interact with anyone who actually believes that. You would do better to discuss Non-Euclidean geometry with a goldfish.
For starters, it clearly violates the (moronic) civil rights act(s), as well as the equal justice clause.
The Bush Rule: “Attacking your Base is not a winning strategy”
Oh dear. Now what?
They also make guitar picks. Time to throw those out too. Grrrrrr.
I would ban it all. No BLM, no LGBT, no political wear. You are in the business to make and sell tires not promote your agenda or political views.
COOPER DISCOVERER AT3 XLT All-Season
Best tire made for Trucks and SUVs.
Michelin is the only decent tire on the road.
The rest are junk, including Goodyear.
Same here.
Bought Goodyear for 40 years, never again.
“All lives matter is hate speech” WTF, get outta here.
——Michelin!——
Amen
That sounds like a hostile work environment.
this all sounds more like a corporate HR department that has been subverted rather than an entire company...(???)
this diversity training industry is seemingly everywhere nowadays. we have to stop blaming each other for it and just toss these diversity trainer clowns back out on the street where they belong. imho.
