Corey Cunningham, a former employee of the technology firm Eaton Corporation, was fired in August for wearing a shirt that cited a Bible verse from the book of Proverbs, newly obtained documents show.
“Pride goes before destruction, an arrogant spirit before a fall,” the shirt read. Cunningham displayed the verse, Proverbs 16:18, despite being told by management to wear a shirt in the light blue and brown colors of the “progress” Pride flag, the Republic Sentinel reported, citing documents obtained by the outlet.
