The Supreme Court is scared to death by the case of the foul-mouthed cheerleader
- neom 6y agobtw if anyone wants to listen to the full oral arguments, they are here, and I'd recommend them if this interests you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqZElRV0oDM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqZElRV0oDM
- MeinBlutIstBlau 6y agoWould be nice for this to extend to the University level too. Universities here in the US can basically compel students to do anything. With this whole covid thing my school threatened expelling students if they didn't test constantly or sign up to get the vaccine. I'm not denying the vaccine, but this is downright egregious of a public institution being able to do this.
- egberts1 6y agoPffft. Slate is scared to death that only public school, not private, and their employees must adhere to the First Amendment.
- jokoon 6y agoI thought it only applied to the government. I'm not american, but the fact that private companies fire people for speech is also weird to me. I don't see the argument why this is right: is it because companies should shoulder the image weight of such decision, and because "there are other rival companies"?
