Can't have anybody trampling on the rights of those who have vowed to destroy the United States! Nancy Pelosi would probably call it 'unamerican' to discriminate against Communists. I guess since the Federal law was repealed in the early 1970's it won't make much difference, altho I wonder how many other states have laws such as this and have enough sense to keep them.

A Nevada legislative panel has decided it's high time to repeal a state law that allows job discrimination against communists.
The 12-member Legislative Commission unanimously decided this week to introduce a bill at the 2013 session that would repeal a law that was passed in 1951 during the anti-communist fervor of the Cold War.
The law allows employers to reject job applications from communists and their sympathizers, and to fire any communists in their workforce.
