First Amendment protections only apply to actions by government entities that impact one’s speech. No FA rights outside of that.
Lots of folks get fired from private sector jobs for imprudent social media posts, the FA is not involved.
I do thank you for the apology.
I am finished with this diversion. Back to lipidology.
Sorry for the hijack, but this was very disturbing.
