And when said employee drops the a N Word in front of customers or finds himself on an internet video saying he wants to hang people from trees, are you going to stand by the employee?

Of course not, I just think people should be warned & informed once before dismissal. I’m sure you may agree, but I wanted to highlight the explanatory speech bit which I think is very important. It is not enough in my opinion as responsible Americans to simply tell people such is forbidden we must tell them why and what we are trying to achieve or prevent with the restriction.
This is unfortunately most particularly necessary for new employees because as you know schools today are completely failing to teach such things. Professional ethics are therefore passed on from employer to employee. The reason behind such rules of professionalism must also be passed along less they wont necessarily be maintained, and you end up with application of old rules that don’t effect any positive workplace improvement and instead in some cases actually cause more problems than they solve.
Like it or not the boss today is the first practical educator, and I dont see that role as educator diminishing given the trajectory of our public and private education system as hijacked by liberals.
As for videos that is really context based, and I can only reiterate my general reservation against looking for such things due to the fact that I generally believe in a separation of professional and private life.
Apples and oranges.
First, private employment is a completely different legal standard than that of being a student at a public, state university.
Second, there’s a legal difference between making a reference to violence (Y should be X’d ) and a threat (I want to X Y, or I am going to X Y).
The closest these punks came to speaking outside the boundaries of Constitutionally protected speach is that the chant could be taken as explicit admission that they engaged in racially discriminatory membership practices. But THAT would run afoul of the freedom of association clause in the context of the 14th Amendments equal protections clause: the punks would simply have to show that other Greek organizations also engaged in discriminatory practices without sanction.
