Are we losing our Freedom of Speech in this country? I have read a bunch of stories recently where people are being fired, arrested or expelled from organizations for saying or writing things on private internet blogs. I do not agree with things that may be written by these people on the internet but I do not agree that they should be fired even if they are public employees. I also do not believe college students should get in trouble for writing racist comments on a "Free Expression Wall". What we do on the internet is our own business and our employers should not be able to make employement decisions no matter what we write on the internet. Freedom of Speech is a necessary part of this Republic....even if I do not agree with what they say. (BL)
