U.S. woman suspended from job after posting controversial Facebook photo at Tomb of the Unknowns
Lindsey Stone was placed on unpaid leave after posting a photo of herself raising her middle finger at the Tomb of the Unkowns
Two Massachusetts women have been suspended from their jobs after one of them posted a Facebook photo showing her raising a middle finger and pretending to shout at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery.
Lindsey Stone posed next to a sign that read "Silence and Respect" in the photo that was shot by a colleague while on a business trip. After posting the pic to Facebook, she received several angry comments.
Stone replied, "Whoa whoa whoa... wait. This is just us, being the douchebags that we are, challenging authority in general. Much like the pic posted the night before, of me smoking right next to a no smoking sign. OBVIOUSLY we meant NO disrespect to people that serve or have served our country."
The apology wasn't enough for some Facebook users, who created a "Fire Lindsey Stone" page. Others posted angry comments on the Facebook page of LIFE, the Cape Cod-based non-profit where Stone works.
On Tuesday, LIFE announced that Stone and her co-worker "have been placed on unpaid leave pending the results of an internal investigation."
"This photograph in no way reflects the opinions or values of the LIFE organization, which holds our nation's veterans in the highest regard."
