i also think if they were able to prove that people were missing work with different types of punishment, they'd be able to argue discrimination on racial and political grounds

Unfortunately, if you are scheduled to work and feel you want to attend any protest or whatever the excuse may be and you are told no, then you decide to do as you please....is not any grounds for screaming discrimination or any other BS that they may try to come up with because they are fired. Although they did ask, were told no and did as they pleased, they paid the price for their actions.
This is a right to work state so the laws are a bit different and an employer can get rid of you for just about any reason and there is nothing the employee can do about it. In this case, they broke company policy and were rightly fired for it.
These people pushed their agenda and it bit them in the ass.....
