Post by KurtThere is no Freedom of Speech for employees, only the boss. Too complicated for your little monkey brain?
If it was complicated you couldn't have this conversation.
Post by KurtIs it "Freedom of Speech" when Goldman Sachs employees are fired if they support a candidate the bosses don't like? Where did I lose you?
If the boss says they can be for doing it, then no, you have not had your right to freedom of speech violated. Employers can protect their profits in any reasonable way they see fit. Nobody can be forced to give you a platform for your speech. If you can find a newspaper or a NG that allows such speech, no government agency will stop you. Is there some part of the concept of private property you are unclear on?

When might your freedom of speech be limited? Here are five examples:
In a private home. The First Amendment prohibits the government from abridging the freedom of speech, but unless an individual is acting on behalf of the government or as a government agent, she is generally free to prohibit any kind of speech she wants in her own home, or any other private setting, as long as she does so without breaking another law, such as physically assaulting someone.
In a private workplace. If you work for a private employer, you generally have no right to free speech in the workplace, and can be disciplined for what you say. However, your employer may run afoul of other laws, such as discrimination laws if you're fired for religious expression, or labor laws if you're fired for reporting labor violations or whistleblowing.
Social media. Although social media sites like Facebook might seem like an ideal public forum for posting unpopular or controversial content, as private companies, they are technically free to delete or otherwise censor any content they deem offensive.
School activities. Although students at public schools still have the right to First Amendment free speech, their rights may not be as extensive as the rights of adults. For example, in a 1988 Supreme Court case, the court ruled that students' free speech rights weren't violated when school administrators removed articles from a student newspaper that dealt with controversial topics.
Obscene speech. The First Amendment does not protect speech or expression that is considered "obscene." This is why child porn is against the law. However, the exact line between obscenity and free speech is often hard to determine. For example, the filmmaker behind the controversial "2 Girls, 1 Cup" viral video was sentenced to four years in prison for making films that were considered obscene, despite his contention that they were "art" protected by the First Amendment.
If you believe your constitutional right to freedom of speech has been violated, an experienced constitutional law attorney can explain your legal options.

Post by KurtBoycott the NFL until they fire the maggots disrespecting the flag.
Goldman Sachs will fire anyone that supports Donald Trump, public policy.
Employers can fire workers for their political beliefs in this country.
There is no Freedom of Speech on the job.
Can you spit on the flag in America? Absolutely. Are we required to pay to
see yo do it? No we aren't.
it would seem that you are to fucking stupid to even realize where
this is taking place....... In the United States of America.... In
other words they have EVERY right to be doing exactly what they are
doing. It is what this country was founded on. Or are you the kind of
person that would rather see people be shot instead....
Just how ffucking stupid are you anyway?
Why aren't they teaching this in schools. If freedom of speech doesn't
apply to speech you find heinous or disgusting, it's worthless.
If someone wants to fly a Confederate flag on their private property, I
don't give a shit that they've chosen to tell the entire world that
they're assholes; why would I object.
