> No sir. Your understanding of your rights is incorrect. In fact you diminish your rights by posting this nonsense.

Q: But wait -- private employers are allowed to restrict their employees' speech, so how can private employee speech be "free"?
A: The First Amendment protects people's speech -- on the street, in homes, in private workplaces -- from government restriction. Whether or not the speech can be restricted by private people, it can't be restricted by the government. For an explanation of why harassment law is state action, click here. For an explanation of why speech in private workplaces is constitutionally protected, click here.Thr right to free speech is "from government restriction". This is extended to public schools,
gov orgs, orgs that receive gov money. It is not an absolute right. As long as your view can be
heard somewhere, it can be limited in some places.It seems a bit odd to be arguing "rights" with someone who broke the rules of this site, came back under another name and had issues in that their posts were removed.
