Okay, I misread your post but I would still disagree.

Look at this scenario: As a public employee I have 5 people working under me. One of the 5 is telling the other 4 different ways someone could avoid work and cheat the system. Mind you, he is not telling them to do this, just telling them how it could be done. Under such a new amendment, if he were fired, I could be charged for violating his right to free speech.

Absolutes (usually) make bad law.

If he were a public employee, by definition he would be a slacker who is only looking out for his fellow slackers. You would be interfering with his right to promote slacking and therefore be guilty of a hate crime,

Shame on you!!!
