France Shoot-Out

[Montmorency]

Gilrandir, let me make it simple. If I get fired for glorifying racism, it's no different in the eyes of the law than if I were fired for attacking racism - as long as the employer-in-question is not the government itself.

The principles of free speech do not just concern state censorship - employers do not have the right to take away all the human rights of their employees upon signing a contract, and sacking somebody for using their right to free speech would almost certainly be unfair grounds for dismissal and indeed illegal. Free speech doesn't just give the government a negative role in not censoring things, it gives it a positive role in ensuring that other bodies do not take away peoples freedoms.
