Agreed, not apples to apples



Agreed that my example was a bad one, and you're right that she can definitely make a wrongful dismissal hearing, but I just don't think it will be so ironclad.

In the wake of South Carolina removing the confederate flag from all public grounds, the argument against her will be that this will negatively affect her ability to do her job san bias and prejudice.
It seems like she doesn't have any personal professed beliefs that people have documented (which I guess is @Canadadry's point) but I personally do not see her being reinstated on the strength of the 1st amendment

No problem, we shall see what happens.

Department is going to get sued and this woman is about to get paid.
Can't penalize people for political speech.
Funny thing is folks gonna rally around this stupid shyt, instead of real issues like cops falsifying reports, killing unarmed people, and etc.

What? It's basically treason. Literally known as the rebel flag. The south lost long long ago. It doesn't signify what America is today. And a person in her position definitely don't need to have such political ideas.

No it isn't anything close to treason.
The US is not at war with the confederacy it won.
Claiming it is treason is like claiming anyone who raises a german flag, filipino flag, spanish flag, japanese flag, or etc is guilty of treason and that is an absurd contention on its face.
Its the raising of a former country's flag that lost, that was then unofficially embraced by the US military (army especially).

The south doesn't signify what America is today?
Are you under 20?
the US flag is a symbol of death violence, and oppression the world over to this fukking day.
If you want to talk about symbolism, I can't think of a worse flag to wave than the US flag.
So save me the moral handwringing over the fukking confederate flag, while talking up the US government and talking about fukking treason. fukk the uSa.

as for having ideals, US consitition protects this woman's ability to wave this flag and since it isn't specifically a racist symbol directly, she has a case.

I would suggest you remember the old saying about the law applying to the worst of us, if it doesn't, it will never apply to the best of us.
You take short cuts to get rid of people who "thing wrong" and you can bet your ass it was just a ploy to give power to the very power structure you need to be afraid of.

No, you are. People just don't care about how fractured your mind is since God himself already fractured your hairline to baldness

No. She was flying an offensive symbol of white supremacy in front of her home. That jeapordizes the image of law enforcement in that area, so yes, they could def fire her, especially.in an at-will employment state. At-will means that they can terminate you for any reason that violates their policy.if they see fit.
