[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand how some of these people coming out in the new today can be fired for saying "I didn't shed a tear." and "He spewed hate." Even if they were "celebratory," which I must be protected, they do not in any way incite violence.

How is this not an egregious violation of the First Amendment?

And, for the record, 1) I think all political violence is wrong and hurts us all and 2) I think it is in horrible taste to celebrate ANYONE's murder.

But how can these firings possibly stand in a court of law? This is insane.[/quote]

All businesses have a code of conduct, and if you bring reputational harm to the company, they don’t have to keep you. Ditto with a person that does not share their values. I wouldn’t feel comfortable working with someone who celebrates the death of another person.

And private companies not have to abide by the first amendment, that is the government only. [/quote]

So you're legitimizing the policing of speech under the "free speech" banner of Charlie Kirk and are saying people are no longer able to do their own thing on their own time with their own social media accounts.  Everything you say or do is owned by someone else.  It's not a good look for anyone who claims to be a champion of freedom.[/quote]

Have you never had a job, a real job, one with a contract and Human Resources department? You absolutely can be fired for conduct that happens on your own free time if the company deems it goes against their code of conduct and will bring reputational harm.

Some of the men who marched in Charlottesville back in 2017 were identified and fired from their jobs. This is the same thing. [/quote]

Do you think that participating in a white supremacy rally is the same as being fired to doing things like posting a quote of someone’s exact words?

Sounds about white.[/quote]

You are either very naive, ignorant, or have never worked for a private company, public school system, govt sector, etc. Good luck with saying whatever you want to post on a social media site.  [/quote]

No one said that.  This is why everyone thinks that maga is so stupid.  You’ve earned your reputation.[/quote]

I'm not maga at all. I'm telling you that you can't post political feelings/beliefs if you have those types of jobs. [/quote]

Tenured professors can't? What are "these types of jobs"? 
Of course, if you have a Trump admin political appointment job, you can post whatever vicious lie you want. [/quote]

Tenure exists exactly FOR professors to able to speak freely. Because professors who can’t speak freely, can’t teach. [/quote]

This is what he posted:

Yeah.  He deserved to be fired.  [/quote]

The firing is absolutely fine. Being retaliated against and/or jailed and/or threatened to lose his liberties by the president, Stephen Miller, or Pam Bondi is NOT fine because of 1A.[/quote]
A) His employer is the government which by law has to respect 1A
B) If that post is 6 days old it’s not even about Charlie Kirk[/quote]

It's not about Kirk...[/quote]
