It is a sad day when false slurs from the White House could subject federal employees to harassment from the public.
ProPublica writes that NASA employees have been warned to be careful when out in public and not raise any attention to the fact that they work for the federal government.
Dr. James Polk, NASA’s chief health and medical officer, stated:
We are all very proud to work for the space program…But in the current environment, with a lot of negative rhetoric coming in our direction, I want you all to please use caution.
So now our proud NASA employees are expected to hide mission patches and other symbols related to their work? How about a U.S. flag patch? Can they still proudly support the national flag?
All of this is getting ridiculous.
