Florida woman kicked off American Airlines flight for wearing 'offensive' mask

A woman was reportedly kicked off an American Airlines flight last week because her mask was deemed “offensive” by a flight attendant.

Arlinda Johns, from South Florida, was on her way to Illinois when she boarded a plane wearing a mask that said “F--- 12” and a T-shirt that said “Black Lives Matter,” she told Florida’s Local 10 station.

A flight attendant reportedly asked Johns -- an activist who believes in defunding and abolishing the police -- to cover her mask.

“She came back and stood over and said ‘I’d better not see that other mask,’ Johns told Local 10.

After the flight attendant went to the front of the plane, it returned to the gate and Johns was reportedly asked to deplane.

However, the airline did tell Local 10 that Johns “refused to follow crew member instructions to remove or cover a face mask with offensive language and although the passenger initially complied, they later continued to display the inappropriate language.
