Freedom of speech protects you from government restrictions, not your employer. I don't get what the argument is here.

we could just have the DT's post addresses of the perps and hire guys like RealAF to drive out to where ever they live and beat the crap out of them.
Just a thought.

Yep. You can't fire someone for what they say outside of the work place.
Regardless, expose em and let them be the most hated person in the office

Ehh, it's one thing to have a rumor about someone saying something. It's another to have written proof online for everyone to see. Besides, their reason for termination can be anything the employer documents it to be.

I don't think most people have actually read their employee code of conduct. This is usually covered. A dangerous precedent though, but for now, **** racists, ioneem care.

You represent your employer even when your off the clock, if the views and opinions dont match the reputation the company is trying to have, you can and will be terminated.

Petty & impractical? Thanks, and here i thought i was doing a good job being the voice of reason.
I mean yeah, you're not wrong. I just don't think you really believe an employer can get away with firing an employee for posting something that wasn't explicitly hateful or libelous online.
It's a fine line is all I was ever saying and it would be awfully easy to step into a pile of **** unless they had a valid reason for that employee's termination.
A red shirt or an unpopular stance (but not hateful or libelous) wouldn't fly as a legitimate explanation.Any wrongful termination lawyer worth his salt would definitely find a way to create a lawsuit.
What I or you believe is irrelevant. The unfortunate truth is that employers don't need much of a reason. Right or not, that is the truth.

Has nothing to do with agreeing with opinions or ideals, just their right to say it. How hard is that to understand?I think people really want it to be ok to spew hate online."its not real life"
He can't, because it doesn't exist.
You sound like a real tough guy, man. Real adult of you.

Nah he did say that in a thread
@ the framing attempt
When you can't convince anyone but yourself that somebody is saying something racist, just start making stuff up!
Can't remember which one though
Happened last week though

Not sure if I like or don't like cause there are racist people who don't expose themselves.
Seems like there are better things I/we could be doing

The 1st amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
The key word is Congress. Doesn't say anything about your employer.

It is his right and he wasn't censored by the government or thrown in jail for saying it. So what's your point? His 1st amendment rights weren't violated.

Pretty sure this has been said, but I'll reiterate...
Freedom of speech is NOT freedom of consequence...
And if you say something that is detrimental to the brand that you represent... you WILL get the can... Simple as that.
This is stated in damb near every employment agreement.
Water we eem talking about in here? who's arguing against that?
