I disagree. An employer should be allowed to fire a worker based on that worker’s opinions. Note that political opinion is NOT a protected class for discrimination. Are you saying you want to take away my right to fire an employer because he holds liberal views?

In a free society the right to terminate employment needs to reside with the employer and not with those in government.

I don’t think Phil was an “employee”. I think Phil was likely a contract employee and they’re claiming he violated some clause in his contract.

political opinion is a protected class.

If you run an advertizement for a product that does something it does not, you have to pay a penalty.

No political ad are banned or fined for the same reason.

I don’t have a tel-lies-vision and don’t know much difference between a duck dynasty or a honey boo boo, but my understanding of the pop culture is that we are only a month or so since one of the DD guys got restricted in his speech for giving a Christian blessing at a meal on camera.

Does LavenderMafia teevee REALLY want to go down this path?

That is true, and yet another indication of how far our current government has strayed from the intent of the founders. There is an entire federal and state bureaucracy devoted to litigating cases against employers who dare terminate someone for expressing a particular "protected" opinion.

Would you support an employer’s right to terminate any employee who marches in a gay pride parade?
