On August 18, 2020, internal PowerPoint slides from a Topeka, Kansas training seminar were leaked online. A leaked slide from a Goodyear diversity training session shows the company has decided what the “acceptable” and “unacceptable” slogans are for employees to support. The slide is part of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company’s zero-tolerance policy, which has deemed “Blue Lives Matter,” “All Lives Matter,” “MAGA Attire,” and “Politically Affiliated Slogans or Material” as “unacceptable.” Those slogans that are “acceptable” to the company included “Black Lives Matter (BLM)” and “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride (LGBT).[1] Mustangjayyyme (talk) 17:22, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ElHef, Not sure if this one is much better, but: [1]. SQLQuery me! 17:39, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@SQL: - that article is already included as a source (the original WIBW report). Because the slide is an unverified leak, I decided to avoid adding more specific details about its content. My judgement was that the most notable issue is Trump's call for a boycott (because of the banning of MAGA hats). I don't have a particular view on including the full content of the leaked slide. If others editors feel it's important context, I wouldn't oppose it. Jr8825Talk 19:30, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHY THE COMMENT REGARDING BLM AND LGBT WAS REMOVED, AND ALSO NO MENTION OF BLUE LIVES MATTER OR BLACK LIVES MATTER...ONLY TRASHING TRUMP AND MAGA. VERY BIASED. AND YOU USED BIAS NEW SOURCES OF COURSE Mustangjayyyme (talk) 17:49, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mustangjayyyme: - Reuters is about as impartial as news reporting gets. Original inclusions of the content were removed because they either used deprecated sources (OANN) or weren't written in a neutral way. Jr8825Talk 19:30, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Section should be updated with the leaked audio specifically singling out/directing racism towards White employees. [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:640:2:D430:DC16:4DAF:3478:EDDA (talk) 16:49, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
