[quote=Anonymous][quote]Our country is founded on freedom of expression. Do you think it’s common sense to fire someone / destroy their career for exercising their freedom? How is your view anything but authoritarian, and offensive to freedom of expression?[/quote] Not the PP, but if your "freedom expression" interferes with your ability to do your job, or tarnishes the reputation of your employer, then you can absolutely be fired. Freedom of expression relates to the GOVERNMENT'S ability to restrict your expression, not your employer's. In this case, Shapiro's public expression of racism hurt his employer by forcing GULC into a discussion on why they were hiring someone with his history of bigotry. It also suggested that he cannot do his job, insofar as his job includes teaching, mentoring, and supporting students of color. [/quote]
