Taco Bell said Thursday that it apologized to a man who was fired from one of its Ohio franchises after refusing to take off a mask featuring Black Lives Matter symbols, and that the fast-food chain is “working to clarify our mask policy so this doesn’t happen again.”

The fast-food firm said in a tweet on Thursday that it was “deeply upset” by the incident, adding that, “We believe the Black Lives Matter movement is a human rights issue and not a political one.”
