The Miami-Dade County schools and fire departments are investigating after photos of three employees wearing anti-President Donald Trump shirts surfaced on social media.
A photo posted July 18 on Miami-Dade County Public Schools employee Brian Chappell's Facebook page shows Chappell and firefighters Faye Davis and Ray Williams wearing t-shirts that say "F--- Trump and f--- you for voting for him."
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue confirmed it was investigating whether the photo followed the department's social media policy after someone reported the post.
"I remind you all to use good judgment when posting on social media," said Omar Blanco, president of the Miami-Dade Fire Union. "We are brothers and sisters in the fire service and whether we agree or disagree, let's do so respectfully."
Fire Rescue chief Dave Downey ordered all employees to review the department's digital and social media policy in a memo released on Friday.
Downey also reminded employees the social media guidelines apply whether they are on or off-duty.
Miami-Dade Schools also released a statement saying it is investigating the post.
"While we respect our employee's right to self-expression, we have a responsibility as a public institution to review this issue and ensure it aligns with our ethical standards," read a statement.
NBC 6 has reached out to Chappell, Davis and Williams for comment.
