Its covered under the 1st amendment. The lawyers should be lining up on this one.

So this city has say no giant murals of Obama in an elementary school which also double as a polling place?

Carlene Duncan said. “It means we will wipe our butt with your face, and that’s not very nice. That’s very disrespectful to our president.
Nero can’t be the butt of anyones jokes
Gee, Ya think his union will go to bat for the guy?

Don’t guess his union is gonna come to his rescue. Now if it had been Bush...

I’m of two minds on this one.
First, it is disrespectful to the Presidency, although the Office’s current occupant is certainly deserving of that disrespect. Second, free speech is free speech.
I wonder, though, if similar discipline would be meted out if it were a Republican President whose face was on the TP. I rather doubt it.
Finally, a soiled piece of Obama TP is truly hazardous waste.

Its covered under the 1st amendment. The lawyers should be lining up on this one. I wonder if the union will defend him. Firefighters are a rough and ready bunch and as far as practical jokes go, this one is pretty tame.

I wonder how many of the public office workers have pictures of 0bammy on their ‘city property’ walls... Shouldn’t they get fired too?

This employee might have a case if he could point to others in his work place who were posting offensive political views counter to his own but these folks weren’t being punished for it. And if that is the case, then any decent judge is going to say....”if you fire one then you need to fire anyone who does it”!

Although I agree with the firefighters sentiments, I don't agree with the actions. I'm a county utility worker with a similar set of rules, and they do make sense. Political signs, bumper stickers, etc are not allowed on county property (land, trucks, buildings). Both county Republican party and Democrat party chairpersons were warned this last election to keep political signs for their respective candidates off county property and right-of-ways or they will be cited.

could be considered offensive or divisive I would think in this case, it would be a sign of unity and dear to our hearts.

This actually burns me. Public school teachers bashed President Bush to no end. I didn’t hear about to many firings.
