Can someone explain to me why a hospital system who receives huge amounts of public money is allowed to fire an employee for a social media post about the death of a felon but a school funded by public money is cool with an employee celebrating the death of some old lady. The double standard is mind boggling.

Freedom of speech? Or have we lost that too in this administration?

I guess she might not be triggered if there's some memes of her appearing here and there like the ones I founded by luck.

Why is what one person said that nobody ever heard of and that nobody gives a **** about relevant?

This is how they keep everyone stupid while they steal all the money.

Corporations can choose how to exercise the concept, to a point. If they are happy to have a crazy lunatic speaking out in public, thinking that people will appreciate their commitment to "Free Speech" then they may tolerate all sorts of idiotic statements from their employees. If they are more interested in the image of being a well run organization who is genuinely concerned about their public image, they will cut ties with people who soil that image rather quickly.

Again, the Free Speech clause of the First Amendment only protects you from prosecution by the Federal government. It does not mean that employers have to put up with your nonsense.

Until some folks on the lefts said something they shouldn't do like what Jeremy Corbyn posted in a Facebook post in 2012 about a painting.
