This is a great time to talk about free speech.
100 years ago the idea of blasphemy was still strong, and they still had no qualms saying they stood for free speech.
If we are to have public institutions, people must be able to feel confident that they and their families will be treated fairly and with respect.

Many people on the right are TERRIFIED about approaching this question and limp out because they think that if they support anything but "anyone can say or do anything at any time" it will be used against them.
Yet, we already have had it used against us for years. Just .. by NGOs and pRiVaTe CoMpAnIES

Weird trying to draw the Constitution into this.
You can fire people for being disgusting and unrepresentative of the culture of your organization.

@threalist I think people are looking for something solid to hold on to.
@sickburnbro The rule on this has always been quite simple: free speech can only be extended to those who have shown respect for the concept of free speech. If the intention is to use free speech to end free speech then we owe you nothing but swift removal from the country
@Escoffier More than that - there used to be the concept of being a public *servant* - and go heavy on the servant part. You should expect to have responsibilities if you accept such a thing. If not running off your mouth turns out to be an expensive responsibility, then we see if people are interested in paying for it.
