So prohibiting discussion of politics in the work place is legal I get it. But "freedom of speech" is more than a law. It is an ideal. Just because it is legal to prohibit speech does not mean it is a good idea. I would say that an employer that prohibits free exchange of ideas is not "open minded". I would not want to work for such an employer, without getting paid extra for having to work under such dire circumstances.
