How often are we confronted with stories of someone fired for having the “wrong” political beliefs? Too often, over the past few years, this has meant conservatives, and so it hasn’t received much attention or sympathy. But now we’re witnessing this phenomenon reach others who aren’t typically conservative. Now we’re witness to individuals who are pro-Palestinian suddenly being canned for their views. This is outrageous, and must change immediately. We can’t expect corporate employees to have no lives of their own, outside of work, that aren’t approved by their employers. Employers should not have this power to control the political views of their employees, and it should be considered a grave civil rights violation to fire someone for their political views.
