An interesting case. The right of private employers to restrict employee speech is well-grounded in case law (Hudgens v. NLRB, 424 U.S. 507 among others) but the fact that this fellow works for the state bureaucracy makes the issue much less clear. My guess is that his First Amendment right to express his religious views in his workplace will be upheld under the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth.

"removed items from his cubicle they consider "political, religious or social" in nature.

I work in FEDERAL facility and as long as it doesn't interfere with others and is in you cubicle, you are protected. They even have prayer sessions. I don't have access to info, but on the bulletins board they state case laws. I sure where I'm at they have fought this one and under Federal or FAA guidelines are to show that the government is tolerant to workplace prayer and religious items in personal areas.
