Per the Wired article, the Palestinian employee who was fired, Madly Espinoza, asked for and received permission to wear her keffiyeh, which was rescinded a few weeks later. She followed the new instructions and asked for and received approval to wear pro-Palestinian jewelry. She was then fired. Her termination documents did not state a reason.
