      Again, they clearly engaged in repugnant speech, but this raises complicated questions about the employer/employee power dynamic.

          People are suggesting that this wasn't a "political rally." Yes it was. Plenty of political rallies are held to advance repugnant causes.

          Such terminations are permitted under the "at will" doctrine but... organized labor hates that doctrine, for giving employers the upper hand

          Point being: these terminations would've been harder to impose had stronger employment protections been in place. That's the tension.

          Right, so we're not permitted to discuss the issues at hand in any way other than simply condemning (which I've repeatedly done.)

          I get it, but this hate speech can create a hostile workplace. Employers can't have that.

          The only thing it raises is your questionable sympathy for them. If you've ever had a job you might know there are policies for all staff.

          Actually, if folks read the paperwork they signed upon employment, this would raise 0 questions. I read every word of mine. Did they?

          No it doesn't. The employer exists as an institution by the grace of the government. The employee is subject to at-will employment.

          If the rally had been for the homeless, libertarians, or gays, there wouldn't be a problem with the employers.
