Atlanta Fire Chief Fired for Writing Christian Book

[Clementine]

The guy wrote the book on his own time. He was fired because he doesn't support gays. While I would disagree with him, he still has that right.

Is it going to become commonplace for people to get fired from government jobs because of their religious beliefs? It's one thing if people push their religion on co-workers. What a person does on their time off is their own business. He didn't break any laws. He merely holds views that are not politically correct.

For being fired for their silly reasons, this guy should fight it all the way to the Supreme Court and get some of those clowns fired.

 

[Ernie S.]

I think he's got one hell of a case.

 

[koshergrl]

Yeah but seriously, why should we have to spend years of our lives and untold thousands of dollars on such nonsense???

 

[koshergrl]

The world is insane. I can't wait till the second coming.

 

[Manonthestreet]

because haters gonna hate...and there is almost nothing quite as satisfying as kicking someones ass in court.

Maybe let's wait until the entire story is reported.
The dailysignal. Really. It's about as conservative as it gets.

Bigotry, doing what bigotry does... .


Such is the nature of evil.

 

[Freewill]

What this is is an example of the intolerance of the homosexual community. Their way or no way. The Chief will have a hard time fighting this, unless he does it on his own. No lawyer is going to take a case where there is little money in it for them.

The Chief is screwed by the PC police.

Yes! It goes like this......... Well done! Good and faithful servant!

He was distributing an anti-gay bigotry book that he wrote to people who report to him. Anybody who has ever worked knows you can do things like that at work... Duh.

There are firms of privately funded attorneys that will take this case. Then there's the percentage of the judgment against the city.

Will people have to take gay loyalty oaths?

It would be great to follow this story and see what happens. I am sticking with the Chief is screwed.
