Well, seriously. People have this thing where one person may wonder if another can get away with something, to which the other person says “It’s a free country.” Our country is free from the oppression of tyranny in government. If you are at school and start spouting Nazi propaganda, the school can detain, suspend, or expel you. You are not protected from disciplinary action from your place of education or employment when your behavior is contrary to their guidelines.

I’m talking about behavior, not opinion. One can have whatever opinion they want, but when they share it, they open themselves to criticism. If criticism of you can cast a bad light on your employer by association, your employer is under no obligation to tolerate that.

Warbler, people have been fired from their jobs because they posted pictures of themselves drunk on Facebook. The Constitution of the United States does not protect people from that.
