    Welcome to ‘at-will employment’ America, where you can fire anyone for any reason as long as they can’t prove it was because you are one of the protected classes under the Civil Rights Act (does not include LGBT+ people). They can literally fire you because they don’t like your ears.

        Are you comparing an intentional political stance that someone (hopefully) reasoned themselves into as equally inescapable of the colour of one’s skin, or sexual orientation?

        Crazy thought, if you’re getting put on blast due to your political views you absolutely do not need to continue sharing them with the class.

          You’re right perhaps you shouldn’t have all of media running interference for you and your ilk.

          Let me get this right so you feel that it’s appropriate to discriminate in the workplace based on political views? You would.

            Certain views?

            Absolutely.

            “All libs should be executed in the streets” is a political view.

            And that is why it is not a protected class.

              Is that what I said or even alluded to? Or is it just your prerogative to put words in people’s mouths? You think it’s perfectly acceptable that liberals outnumbers everyone in the workplace perhaps in your big city, however you’re far from the majority.

              The sooner you wake up to that the better.

            Yes, I think if your political views are actively hurting someone or advocating for harm to a group of people then you should be held responsible for the shit that comes out of your own mouth.

            This is not even remotely comparable to being unable to fire someone just because they’re black, or gay, or a woman.
