Wow! I had no idea so many of my readers loved
Duck Dynasty.
With almost 2000 comments, I can't possibly respond to them all. When I
wrote last week that A&E was probably within its rights to suspend
Phil Robertson for making racist (yes, it's racist to say blacks were
better off under Jim Crow) and homophobic comments (and I didn't even
know then about the sexist and
disturbing comments
he made about marrying 15-year-old girls), you had lots to say. Some of
you talked about religious discrimination. Some wanted to know more
about his contract with A&E. I'll talk about those issues in another
article.
First I wanted to respond to the fact that even more of you still don't
believe that the 1st Amendment doesn't protect you at work.
No First Amendment Protection For Employees? What A Dingbat!
Many of you chastised me for even suggesting such a thing:
- ihave1465fans The dingbat writer of this article
diesn't seem to know that Rights in America belong to individuals, not
to selected collectives. She is part of a major problem in the country
where people seem all too eager to throw their rights away !
For more on the reader comments (I included some of the highlights) and my response, read
my article at AOL Jobs.
