people keep confusing work and personal time/space. personal opinions are personal and should be kept to your personal time. and before anyone answers, always think what if the person would support something you don't at a workplace you work as well. you would not feel comfortable and since its your workplace you can't avoid it either. we should respect everyone and keep it to our personal time and space.

Why is "I dress partially in traditional clothing, which management ok'd" an issue? Would you object to someone wearing a cross necklace, turban, yarmulka, niqab, kilt, durag, hijab, kente kufi hat, or other traditional garment at work? Why does a keffiyeh stand out to you?
did i say something stands out for me? show me where?

I'm talking about the argument of taking political or other stands in workplace that others in that same workplace might not feel comfortable with but cant go to another "direction" or ignore.

don't put words in my mouth that i did not say. feels pretty low level discussion when people do that.

The article says that someone was fired for wearing a keffiyeh. Your response is people shouldn't mix personal and work.

Your response is directly to an article saying a keffiyeh got someone fired, so it's absolutely reasonable to assume you are responding to the article and consider it an example of mixing personal and work.
