A Yosemite National Park biologist and a park ranger were recently dismissed after hanging a large Trans Pride flag from the iconic El Capitan rock formation. The firing has sparked outrage among park employees, who view the dismissal as a direct attack on free speech. The National Park Service has referred the incident to federal prosecutors, igniting discussions on the implications of such actions for public-sector employment and free expression. Following the firings, the individuals involved expressed their desire for reinstatement, with the ranger remaining defiant in the wake of criticism.
