Someone give this young man a good job.
And the basis for his termination would be????
He made some muslims feel bad. Isn't that enough to fire someone over?
So much for the first amendment.
I smell big lawsuit.
Go after them...break the bank on this.
They put his life in danger revealing his name.
ACLU?
Ooops, wasn’t a flag or bible... never mind.
Exactly what is the connection between his job and the political demonstration?
I guess they fired any gays that invaded churches and spread condoms during mass?
Sounds like he has grounds for a lawsuit!
If I were him, I would simply be glad my head is still on my shoulders...
Why?
They're saving their strength for the yearly war on Christmas trees and nativity scenes in a few months...
“And the basis for his termination would be????”
Well, it seems he’s a fire-starter! What if he decides set a fire in the cab of his locomotive?/sarcasm.repeat, sarcasm:)
The rule is : anything you say or do that liberals approve of is ok. So gay activists interrupting church and throwing condoms around is ok.
On the other hand, the liberals support the rights of Muslims and are agahst at a demonstration aimed at the Koran or Islam. They would not be agahst at such a demonstration aimed at the Bible or Christianity.
So sad to say, the rule is, the liberals are okay with desecration as long as the desecration is aimed at religions the liberals have disdain for. But otherwise legal demonstrations aimed at a favored religion or cause of liberals will get someone fired/blacklisted/shunned.
Money be with you and bless you, heheheheheh
It was unethical? How was it unethical? I doubt they could point to a section of their code that he violated.
They put us all in danger by pretending Islam is a religion of peace; I don’t think they really care. I’d hate to have kids in the same school as his...
If that’s a goverment job as I suspect, this guy has a good constitutional case.
Just another day of free speech in the land of the free...
