BOSTON (CBS) – Two women have been placed on unpaid leave from their jobs after their photo at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia angered thousands of people on Facebook. — Lindsey Stone was visiting the Tomb of the Unknowns last month on a business trip when she posed for a picture next to a sign that reads “silence and respect.”
In the photo, Stone is pretending to yell and she’s showing her middle finger.
The photo, taken by co-worker Jamie Schuh, (seen at left), went viral and sparked thousands of angry comments.
Some of those comments were posted on the Facebook page of their employer, Living Independently Forever, Inc., (LIFE) a non-profit organization in Hyannis that helps adults with disabilities on Cape Cod.
*Note* – The photo was taken at a
national historic site in October by a fellow employee during a trip to
Washington, D.C. attended by 40 residents and eight staff. The photo has
since been removed from Facebook, and both employees have been placed
on unpaid leave pending the results of an internal investigation.
Question: Should they be fired ?
