I was curious about an international opinion, as it relates to people being fired. Here in Murica, there is occasionally a situation where someone in a public-facing position (such as teachers, principals, political figures) are basically fired or re-assigned elsewhere in an organization for publicly committing subjective acts of general immorality or even APPEARING to advocate said acts in their own personal life.

One recent example is here:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/assistant-principal-fired-trey-songz-video_561fed49e4b050c6c4a4c552

I suppose this isn't as severe as being stoned, crucified, or beheaded for publicly professing one's religion in an oppressive region *ahem*, but my question is, how often does this kind of thing happen elsewhere in the world? I mean one thing that we Americans enjoy is the Freedom of (non-threatening) Speech and Association, but if corporations are taking away this right, then wouldn't that technically be unconstitutional?

Anyways, I'd love to hear how things happen elsewhere. My Fellow Eaglets, feel free to weigh in, but understand that this poll is primarily for our overseas brethren and sisteren.

Thanks in Advance!

If you are a pubic figure then you have to maintain society standards.

Prime example I'm in the military and I can speak freely about the military but not while I'm in uniform or while I'm on mission. The plain and simple fact is News will take my word and put in front of it US NAVY says this. When in all actuality it was just me saying that. I cant speak for the entire organization. So you have to be careful about this.

On this article basically what society thinks is well if she is doing it then that school must condone or support this life style choice.

Is it wrong yes it is. Sadly that's the way it is right now.

I'm also curious to see how other countries see this.
