Sure looks like it to me. And if I can fire my employees for their religious views I can fire them for any views. Such as secular humanist views like support of queer marriage. I'm gonna get rid of the enviro-wackos too.
.... and anyone with an obama bumper sticker.
well, you’d have to look at the contract language.
if it were just a standard at will employment arrangement,
AE are free, as are all employers, (excepting non at-will states) to can someone for any reason or no reason. if however there is a contract stipulating conditions of employment, and if one of the conditions were that one has to hold one’s tongue in public about controversial issues, then yes he could be removed from AE’s show. and if the property of the show belongs to AE, which seems likely, DD would need to become something else in order to avoid litigation..
