Speech

Some Ivy league schools are under attack for not expressing their concern for the treatment of Jewish students on campus saying they are not providing a safe place for them. This type of prejudice is not acceptable to most people but it does not mean these university presidents should be fired. They have the right to free speech and should not be punished for expressing their opinions. They can be fired if the board of directors decides these presidents no longer represent the policies of the schools but not for what they said. If you work for a private company you have the right to say your products are no good or even harmful but you can be fired because your comments hurt sales and thus stock holders who in turn can ask the board of directors to fire you. If this seems like a distinction without a difference consider that you own the company and you can say what you want without fearing getting fired.
