In Texas to be a public employee you must certify that you will not boycott Israel. This is an actual political position that’s disallowed.
Under Biden’s change (correct me if I’m wrong), I can believe whatever I want about vaccines and say anything (so: have a political position)… as long as I get vaccinated (this is not a political position).
Not to mention that both ruling parties at the top are urging all to get vaccinated.

- bestcoder69 5y agoYep same with my primary care physician, my kids pediatrician, wife’s OBGYN, and the health authorities of… y’know what damn near everything. On the other hand the dumbest people I’m related to are fiercely on your side. So maybe I need to do some more research.
- woodpanel 5y agoFunny. Certifying to not boycott something is hardly comparable to have something injected into your body. While with the latter your livlyhood dangles on an administered injection of a substance into your body (and probably regular boosters) any pledge to not do something in private is virtually un-enforcable and thus just lipservice.
- bestcoder69 5y agoAre you not familiar with the concept of people getting fired for stuff they do outside of work? How on earth, with at-will employment, could this be unenforceable? And no they’re not comparable, that was the point of my post. One is enforcing a particular political belief on your employees, the other is a routine public health measure, similar to other vaccine requirements I’ve been subjected to. PS without this requirement I’m being implicitly required to inhale morons’ virus spray as a condition of my employment.
