No criticism intended.
What strikes me as odd about that is this:
- Free Speech is (over?)valued, things that are forbidden as insulting/hate-speech etc. over in DE are 'okay' and free to express in the US. Something the people I talked to were proud of and regularly pointed to as the fundamental freedom.

- Careful what you say, it might get you fired. We had the swear words discussion lately, now we're talking nipples / nudity and references to those.
I understand that these issues are not the same. It just feels like the Freedom of Speech is reduced(?) w/o actually touching the constitution, is it really still that free?
- lemma 15y agoTo answer your last point, the constitution only protects from government restrictions on free speech, it says nothing about what private parties may require from their employees at work.
