This guys political views are ugly and stupid, but as long as he is just speaking for himself as a private citizen and not using his position as a fire fighter to assist in promoting his views, his work should ignore his stupid opinions.
I agree. What he said was offensive, but unless he was using the Firefighters website, he shouldn’t be penalized at his job.
Would you say the same thing about a Muslim gynecologist applauding the stoning of Christian woman because she was raped?
