Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71995414 "Freedom of expression" does not apply to the relationship between a private employer and an employee. The First Amendment applies to the interaction between government and citizens. WHY ARE THESE CONCEPTS SO DIFFICULT FOR LIBERALS TO UNDERSTAND? If you are my employee, and you do something that I find disagreeable, I can fire you. Period. End of story. No "rights" were violated. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 71225558 Netherlands 04/19/2016 03:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The United States Flag Code establishes advisory rules for display and care of the national flag of the United States of America. It is Chapter 1 of Title 4 of the United States Code (4 U.S.C. § 1 et seq). This is a U.S. federal law, but the penalty described in Federal Law 18 USC Section 700[1] for failure to comply with it is not enforced. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Eichman that prohibiting desecration of the U.S. flag conflicts with the First Amendment right to freedom of speech and is therefore unconstitutional. |

Most states are right to work states meaning it is at the employers discretion the terms, length and conditions of continued employment. If the state was to press charges for her actions that would be a violation of her rights but not her employee. I'll tell you know as a small business owner I refuse to hire people who associate with certain SJW movements such as black lives matter, and yes I look on Facebook after I finish the interview if I don't like what I see no job for you. |
