Update Your Profile
Arkansas is an employment at will jurisdiction. That means that your employer can terminate your employment for no reason. You are only protected by contract, civil rights acts and, possibly, the tort cause of action known as outrage.
The facts that you recite in your question do not suggest that you could successfully pursue your termination in Court.
