re: #7 freetoken

Just because you said it doesn’t make it true. You provided no supporting evidence and your rationale was significantly flawed in that the job description you quoted indicated something that was purely behind the scenes.

Furthermore, as a public employee his first amendment rights are far stronger than those of employees in private companies. Refer to Pickering v Board of Education - the summary of which is that the SCOTUS held that a teacher had the right to speak on issues of public importance without being dismissed from his position. The man in question had been fired for writing a letter to the editor of a local newspaper.
