• Special Circumstances: Home Depot, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and the Intersection of Concerted Speech and Business Interests (jdsupra.com) — A recent federal appeals court ruling centers on employees at Home Depot’s New Brighton store who wore Black Lives Matter messages on their aprons after George Floyd’s death. The Eighth Circuit said Home Depot could enforce its dress code under “special circumstances,” emphasizing customer relations and safety, while still allowing other, less politically charged expressions against racial discrimination.
