Exactly my point.

The wealthy want the massive tax cuts that they benefit from almost exclusively. That is why they are tacked onto this bill that is supposed to be about Healthcare.

The AHCA trades human lives for tax cuts for the wealthy. How could anyone justify that?

Like... even for those clinging to racism, isn’t this a bit beyond the pale? I mean, even with the impact on civil rights, this was a child murder. Just seems goddamn awful on top of goddamn racist.

No! Let the taxpayer dollars do it. Then we can take some comfort that indirectly, the perpetrator is paying for it.

I hate this country.

Not what I said. I said that gov’t funding or not, it may not be a 1A issue due to codes of conduct, etc. I made that pretty clear, but you clearly are just a fucking twit as well. What is with Fusion and the idiot brigade?

Aw, you’re still here? Good job. Keep going. You are for sure the kind of asshole far Left type who absolutely made BernieBros and their ilk vote Trump. And I honestly, at this point, don’t give a shit what you think I am - my comments pretty thoroughly reflect it. You though, are 100% a shithead Democrat.

Nope. Not confused. Just not a lawyer, so I don’t have legal precedence at my fingertips. I can see where as an employee at a public institution this might be a 1A issue, but also as an employee under contract, where is the line drawn. That help you out? As I don’t think you grasped what I was discussing, since you…

I skimmed it, saw that it concerned speech that was subpoenaed, I lost my will to dig deeper. I can’t rabbit hole at work, sadly. But I can’t imagine that just because it is funded with public money, the employees have a free pass on acting shitty in public (not saying this was that, I just mean in general).

I just don’t see that as the case. Blanket immunity? Naw. I am sure there is plenty that allows these institutions to function like any rational, normal company as regards hiring/firing for conduct.

I don’t think Lane vs Franks would apply here. This was a public statement on a wide-reaching (retch) News (lol) channel. My gut says it was in the Code of Conduct and/or her contract.

Whatever. Take your ball and go home. This isn’t a 1A issue, you are wrong, and you can’t back it up for shit. Good day, hun.

You’re the one who didn’t know that a public school receives government funding.

No, that isn’t true at all. If her contract states she can not act in a way that brings a negative reaction to the school, that is not at all unconstitutional or unenforceable. Those sorts of things exist and are pretty common. Just because it is a public school doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a code of conduct to…

Care to cite some case law for us on this one? Seems like she violated the terms of her employment. Hardly a free speech issue.

No it fucking doesn’t you goddamn twit. Just because they get partially funded by the government doesn’t mean they can’t fire an employee for a public appearance provided it violates her contract and their code of conduct.

Yes, because obviously I don’t. /s

It is a public community college. Not sure that qualifies as the government or entitle her to free speech protection.
