And firing the woman who took the photo, whats up with that? We cannot pick and choose what we consider correct and shut down others whose opinion we don't agree with, other wise we are no better than the dems and their political correct BS.
how does this action result in her being fired? ...Seriously, would have someone work for you that has illustrated she has no respect for anything but her challenging authority? You are the boss, she has already said YOU need challenged. YOU say “Do not steal office supplies”, so she walks off with all the toilet paper in the lady’s room, steals three reams of copying paper and has the camera operator punch her in and out while she never shows up for work. After all, she is just challenging authority.

And employer has every right to hire or fire at their discretion. Do you really want someone with this negative notoriety representing your company to the public? What does that say about the judgment of the employer.
As an individual I have the right to hire and fire whomever I wish.
The government did not punish them.
Others decided that they did not want to associate with them.
You are right that we don’t want to be like the democrats and have the government jail someone for a year for posting a video, read making a political statement, Obama did not like.
You apparently do not understand the difference between private citizens freely associating or disassociating with whom they choose, and a government compelled by the First Amendment to tolerate any speech. Learn the difference. The constitution does not apply here. She fully exercised her right to express herself with no recriminations from the government. Her employer exercised their right of association. So just what is your problem here?
She was on a business trip, paid for by her employer. She was supposed to be escorting approximately 40 residents, some being veterans. Which means she was representing her company on this trip. If I were her employer, this isn’t the type of representation I would want. Especially as a non-profit who likely depends greatly on fundraising.
“how does this action result in her being fired?”
If an employee’s behavior embarrasses an entity and may cause harm to its success, I would think termination would be legal and appropriate. Or the ACLU will most likely step in and cause a ruckus. Of course, it’s Christmas, and ACLU’s busy time of the year — the jerks.
She has the right to her opinions. And her employer has an equal right to not want his company associated with her stupid opinions.
If I was her boss, I would have done the same.
You think you would not lose your position at your company if a picture of you wearing a KKK outfit and holding a noose in front of the MLK memorial was making its rounds on the Net? Especially if people were calling your company to vent their upset?
