A North Dakota Target is facing backlash for firing a woman who wrote 'Trust in Jesus' on her name tag.

Denise Kendrick, an employee of the store in Fargo, said she was fired on November 16 over a dress code issue.

She put 'Trust in Jesus' and a drawing of a cross on her name tag for that shift, but was approached by a manager who told her she could not wear it, according to KVLY.

'I replied, "Well, I've seen people with rainbows on theirs. I'm going to continue to wear this name tag," and then they said, "Well, you can't work here anymore,"' Kendrick said.

She said she asked for a reason why she was fired, but was only give a list of information about the dress code policy.

'I said, "Can I get it in writing why you're firing me?" and they refused to do that,' said Kendrick

'They gave me this paper with all these phone numbers on it and said, "If you have any questions about the violation of the dress code, just call one of these numbers." And he just kept repeating it, and we just kept going back and forth, and it was going nowhere.'

Kendrick said she was wearing a plain long sleeve red sweatshirt and jeans when she was fore. She said she had been wearing other religious apparel for months and never had an issue.

'I had no problems with anyone approaching me with my Christian shirts,' said Kendrick.

According to Target's policy, 'Target is an equal opportunity employer that prohibits discrimination and will make decisions regarding employment opportunities, including hiring, promotion, and advancement, without regard to the following characteristics: race, color, national origin, religious beliefs.'
