Spot on! Any employer would be free to fire any employee who disrespected a client who was paying money for a service. These players are nothing more than employees, and the fans come to watch the game, not to receive a political statement.
But the owners of those businesses do not want to fire them nor are they going to, awwww
Professors at the school have vociferously opposed the visit by Sessions. In an open letter published ahead of the event, signed by around a third of the law school’s faculty, professors lambasted it as “hypocritical†and “troubling.†“We, the undersigned, condemn the hypocrisy of Attorney General Sessions speaking about free speech,†the letter reads. “Sessions is a key cabinet member in an administration headed by a President who spent last weekend denouncing athletes engaging in free expression and calling for them to be fired.â€
“This kind of government chilling of speech is precisely what the First Amendment to the United States Constitution is meant to prevent,†the letter continues. “A man who fails to recognize paradigmatic violations of the First Amendment is a poor choice to speak about free speech on campuses.†Georgetown Law Faculty Take A Knee To Protest Jeff Sessions' Campus Visit
GOOD FOR THEM!
No, not good for them.
These people aren't fooling anyone and they certainly aren't free speed advocates.
So you're saying a bunch of LAW faculty don't know how the law applies... ?
I think they know, but like so many others on the left they are caught up in the fervor of anti-Trumpism, to the point that they're willing to take what is, in terms of the law, is a very weak position on this issue.
Glad to see these law professors are so subservient. That is all they are good for.
I wouldn't think that Jeff Sessions would require such abject obeisance from these law professors as genuflection.
Rather than genuflecting, wouldn't it be more fitting if the professors politely applauded quietly at appropriate points during the address? It would be much more dignified, at least.
All these law skool buffoons stumbling about genuflecting, just because the AG is in town. Whoever heard of such a thing anyhow?
