Can You Be Fired For Being Conservative? By John Hinderaker.

In another sign of the times, an employee of a New York literary agency has been fired for having accounts on Parler and Gab. …

I have seen no suggestion that the victim, Colleen Oefelein, did anything wrong on those accounts, just that she participated in social media sites that are not deemed sufficiently leftist. Ms. Oefelein apparently is from Alaska and “identifies herself as a Christian.” That explains a lot. …

In general, employers can fire employees for any reason, just as employees can quit for any reason. But various statutes and ordinances have riddled that principle with exceptions.

Still, one fact stands out: if an employee can be fired for being a conservative, or for having accounts on social media sites that are not regarded as liberal, an employee can equally be fired for the converse reasons–being a liberal, or having accounts on liberal outlets like Facebook and Twitter. …

I don’t think that anyone should be fired for his or her political views. But it is happening. Maybe if some liberals lost their jobs because of their politics, liberals would think better of the cancel culture that they have so viciously unleashed.

Appealing to the better angels of the left for fairness and decency is having no effect, so there would seem to be no other way. This is a cold civil war.
