None of what you posted makes sense or has a legal basis.

Nothing you have provided makes any sense.
You can't fire people for not joining the KKK nor speaking out about it, same thing. This isn't difficult.

He wasn’t fired for refusing to join BLM. He was fired for posting things online that the Company surmised would be offensive to the public.

FWIW, I guarantee he's not the only one with those viewpoints. Depending on the area you're in.

Yes, under that theory I could fire someone for saying the Catholics religion is a hoax, which is why I'm a Muslim.
That's a violation of Title VII.

Bingo. Acadian actually sells memberships to the public. It’s pretty easy to say “We thought we would sell less memberships if the public thinks we employ vehement racists.” That’s it; case closed.
The only way it gets more scrutiny than that is if you fire someone for being in a protected class (i.e. race, gender, etc.)

No, no you couldn’t. I’m an attorney and zero of what you said has any legal basis. Keep trying, though.

You’re conflating 2 things. Being Muslim and posting incendiary things about Catholics are independent ideas. You can do either one without the other.

I'm not trying anything. You haven't provide any useful information, so you're a bad attorney.

Yes, I said it quite clearly. Louisiana is a right to work state. There are only a few very limited avenues of employment claims that you can make when you’re fired in the state of Louisiana. Unfortunately for Jamie, being fired for posting memes on Facebook isn’t in that number.

If you have to accept something, its the same. You don't have to be Catholic but in your free time you can't say anything that would go against Catholics.

So? This was already answered.
Just because its a right for work state doesn't mean you can discriminate see Title VII just for one example.
You still haven't provided any useful information.

But that isn't the real reason he was fired, if that was the real reason any employee with a facebook account would have been fired.

I realize you’re pretty stupid but citing Title 7 isn’t a legal argument.
Nor is advocating there is a “hidden reason” besides the fact that this idiot was posting “All Lives Splatter” memes during the protest.

I realize you play an attorney on tv but know very little so you just started the name game because you're lost.
No, I provided a summary of what would happen, and provide Title VII as the background issue. You have provided squat.
Yes, I'm sure the EEOC would look fondly at an employer firing black people because they said something about the KKK on their facebook page.
I sure hope you're not an attorney.

Stated or not, if the termination was for discriminatory (illegal) reasons and the stated cause is a pretext, he can sue.

Did they ever not fire someone for making the same or opposing viewpoints? That would change things a little.

I’ll bite. If posting stuff on Instagram was the pretext, what was the true cause?

You continue to make bad comparisons - I’m pretty sure you do not even understand what Title 7 is. If you can articulate the right Louisiana or Federal law provides to post memes on Facebook and be free of consequences from your employer - please do so. Simply citing Title 7 indicates you heard it in a movie.
