Any possible lawsuits by employees claiming they were horribly offended, and that it had created a hostile work environment, and they want a 6 figure settlement.
Hostile work environments are not created by one incident, even bitch stupid lawyers know that, which is why they always tell people to document.
On the other hand, they are created by patterns of abuse, like HR mandating that people who did not attend a party go through diversity training every time someone exercises their constitutional right of free speech. If I was an employee of that hospital I would file a complaint about the training, and refuse to attend. Then I would file suit of they tried to discipline me.
See why thinking like a real lawyer trumps acting like an idiot?
Apparently, the lawyers in the HR department of that large corporation disagree with your interpretation of the law.

Protection from a frivolous lawsuit? No, this is idiocy.

Apparently, you think HR is staffed with lawyers instead of people who are actually trained in human resource management. Or did you not know that HR is an actual degree field?

We can go back and forth on this for as long as you want.
You seem to disagree with the decision that the HR department made. You're welcome to your opinion, but it's the company's call to make, not yours. They made the call to cover their asses from legal action because they believe that to be the best decision from a business standpoint. You are free to disagree with them, just I'm free to disagree with McDonald's decision to stop selling the McRib - but neither of us should expect that our opinions would hold much weight in the matter.

1st Street Baptist Church Pastor C.E. Timberlake says it's wrong to portray any president that way.
"I think it's very offensive and really that shouldn't have happened," Timberlake said. "There are other characters they could have dressed up and put a straitjacket other than the President of this country,"

I disagree with the idea that we cannot mock presidents, or anyone else. You chose to defend a company that supports that ridiculous concept, and I chose to lump you in with the idiots.
Live with it.

I too believe that everyone has the right to mock whoever they want.
I also believe that the corporation has a "right" to protect themselves from fallout due to their employees "free speech."
Ideology doesn't trump reality.

Once again, what fallout? Am I supposed to give in simply because you bring up a bogeyman?
PC assholes punish 749 people who did not wear the costume.
A picture of a Jennie Stuart Medical Center employee wearing a President Barack Obama mask and straitjacket at the hospital's annual costume party has stirred debate. Along with the costume (pictured above), a skit called "VIP Special Delivery" was performed, winning the group third place in the costume contest. As a result, all 750 employees have now been required to take diversity training. The VP of Human Resources at the medical center issued a statement to staff apologizing for anyone who was offended and personally took responsibility since the incident occurred on his watch.

You're welcome to RAGE about it as much as you want, I don't care if you "give in". Honestly, I think this conversation is ludicrous.
Clearly the company was afraid of fallout. Whether or not there would have been any is completely irrelevant.
The company made the call. It's not necessarily the call I would have made, but it's not out of the ordinary either, and not a cause for your outrage and righteous fury.

Rage?
You keep excusing this by bringing up fear as a justification. I find fear of something that might happen totally absurd, and want you to back up your claim that the fear is justified.
Why on Earth should they be afraid? Was the same company afraid when people dressed up like Bush, Clinton, or any previous president for Halloween?

I believe we're having a hard time understanding each other.
I'm not making any argument that their fear was justified, only that it's apparent they were afraid, and that's why they did it.
You keep trying to turn this into an ideological issue, which is asinine. Ideology has nothing to do with this decision.

it is an ideological issue, the issue is that we can mock whoever the fuck we want.
By instituting a corrective measure for all its employees the hospital made it a political issue, and you argued that they should be able to make it a political issue because they were afraid.
If you want to whinge about the fact that we disagree about the seriousness of this, at least base your arguments on the actual facts.
