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


I am not saying it is or isn't. I was just answering his question.

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


I was think that as well, but this is even different than those cases.

That would be they fire black people for saying coon arse at work but don't fire a white person that does the same thing.

Here, what is happening is forcing an idealogy that has nothing to do with work. It would be like an employer firing a black person for saying the KKK is an evil organization.

Good luck to mr. attorney with that.

No shite. I’ve never met a single Cajun who was offended by coonass. Pathetic.

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.


You really haven't provided in any of your posts, sorry mr. attorney.

Saying someone is wrong but not providing information indicates you're talking out of your arse.

I’ve explained the situation quite clearly. If you can cite the laws that ban a private employer from firing an employee from posting memes, I’d be curious to see it.

Nobody said people couldn't be fired for posting a meme, you're setting up a silly strawman stupid attorney.

You are looking quite foolish, you have provided nothing of value... hope you don't actually charge people.

You're projecting I would imagine.

From name calling, to name calling without a noun.

Any facts you stated have nothing to do with anything that I can see. Actually, the facts have nothing to do with it, we agree on the facts... the law is in dispute.

What kind of attorney are you?


How many cases have you lost in summary judgment because you didn't know the difference between law and facts?

That doesn't matter, he's not supporting a racial cause is the same as forcing someone to support it.
I would call it a religion at this point. Of course, he would have to prove it, but I would imagine discrimination lawyers are getting lots of visits in the last few weeks.

They're basically saying you have to be bigot on the highest level to be employed.

Title VII

Right to work has nothing to do with it, if they just wanted to fire him... that is okay. However, they actually fired him for a reason.

Yeah try firing some non-whites for speaking out about the KKK, see how that goes at the EEOC hearing.

Good luck.

That's a violation of Title VII.


I’ll indulge you. If a Title VII claim was asserted, maybe Acadian would reply that “not making public hate posts” is a “bona fide occupational qualification” reasonably necessary to perform the job.

So... an employer can fire black people for making hate posts against the KKK? Good luck.

Beside the point, I'm saying that as an example.

If one is allowed the other should be as well, the race of the organization or the promotion of the race is irrelevant.

Obviously, they are firing him for disagreeing in the public domain as to the racist organization.

The posts were “All lives splatter”. You could fire a black, green, polka-dot or rainbow person for advocating murder of KKK members.

Oh yeah, but most probably they would not fire him for post DOA-KKK right?

Discovery does wonders as to the details. <----

Obviously, he would still have to prove it i.e. facts.
