DOT worker suspended for Confederate plate

DOVER, Del. - March 27, 2012

The ACLU says it was contacted by a union for state employees after DelDOT employee Tom Drummond was suspended earlier this month and told his license plate was inappropriate.

DelDOT issued a statement Tuesday saying the action taken against Drummond was prompted by a complaint from another employee who claimed harassment.

The ACLU says flags and other symbols, including Confederate flag license plates, are entitled to First Amendment protection.
