I'm saying we shouldn't. Are you saying that teacher is any of those people? There shouldn't be a blank rule that people and corporations can exploit to do whatever the fuck they want.
You need to look up protected classes as well, they're broader than you seem to think. It's just as illegal to discriminate against people white people, straight people, men, etc. Because protected classes cover discrimination based on race, sex, etc without specifying which sexes, races, etc are protected because all of them are.
Do I want the entity whose reason for existing is to decide which behaviors are acceptable and infringe people's rights to decide which behaviors are acceptable? Would be nice, but I like your suggestion where I get to choose. Either of those is better than a black check for a person or corporation to fire you for whatever reason they decide is against their "values"
Actually, I decided to edit and delete this, im done with this
No. I'm pretty sure we went over that 3 times already.
4 times now. Do I hear 5?
Right, instead you think companies should be free to fire people for certain beliefs and off hours behavior, but only ones you don't approve of. As opposed to the current environment where individual private entities are allowed to choose what behaviors and beliefs they don't approve of, within some limits.
