I'm talking things like Catholic schools and organizations. If you don't agree with their views why work there?
Because it's a job that brings in money. Do you have to ask? Listen, people work at all kind of places and don't necessarily agree with their employer's views 100%.
During President Bush's Presidency, the economy came crashing down like a tone of bricks. .
Not until the Dems took complete control of the Congress in 2007. Prior to that the republic experienced 6 consecutive years of unprecedented economic growth.

But if you knows it's a Catholic organization and it goes against beliefs then don't work there.
Cripes, after reading this thread it appears we've raised an entire generation of idiots who think there's some fanciful category of "hate speech" that isn't protected by 1A.
Tell you what, feel free to call speech you don't like "hate speech." Just don't feel free to shut it down.

It all goes back to having a job that pays. Most people work for money first and beliefs are not part of the equation. Maybe the employee is a Catholic but they're more liberal in their views.

But once again the employer that is Catholic shouldn't have to pay for something I oppose. I interviewed at a Catholic organization that told me they eouild fire me if I lived with a man I wasn't married to. I didn't care because this is a Catholic view.
What in that quote does anyone actually disagree with ?????
This part:
"I would also raise questions about the larger context in the United States and whether or not we are applying a double standard to what is considered “hate speech” when it comes to Muslims. I feel that sometimes Muslims in America have become the last group in which public official, organizations and others are allowed to publicly demean, ridicule this group, in ways we don’t do it with other groups per se."
He is fostering the notion that somehow Islam should be granted a different definition of what constitutes "hate speech" than other religions. That somehow they cannot be held to the same standard of acceptance of others rights to free speech as all others in America are.
He isn't implying the we have a double standard for Islam, so much as we should have a double standard for Islam because it's proclivity for being offened at the drop of a hat should somehow grant it special dispensation from the rules of of civilized society.
