He promoted his views on an internal bulletin board, running afoul of an odious ideology that had infected the workplace. Then, after a prolonged fight against censorship, he was summarily fired.

This kind of thing is happening all over the country; a youth culture of intolerance and reverse racism has taken over campuses and corporate boardrooms to such an extent that it can hardly be said that we have freedom of speech.

"Speech" has always been a fraught thing in the workplace, however. These louts with their "tolerance for me, not for thee" are the ones who should be fired. Sadly, in the real world, it's the one who squawks the loudest who gets canned, while the mob just snickers and continues playing their games with people's lives.

I know it's easier to say than to do, but my advice would be to sue Thomson Reuters for several million dollars of lost potential income, defamation, and probably a few other things your lawyers can think up. We need to make it so expensive to do this to people that corporations back down. To just go away quietly, shaking in impotent rage, is to give them victory.

Agree. Make it too expensive for them to keep doing this.
