Current Events > Nurse is FIRED for this HORRIFIC Message on Protesters as she cited FREE SPEECH!

(+) Yeah! (+)

An illinois nurse has been Fired after she wrote a HORRIFIC message on George Floyd Protesters as she is not being publicly named and the hospital initially suspended her first because they were told employees had FREE SPEECH before finally giving her the axe

She was a nurse at Catholic OSF Healthcare system as her incendiary remark was posted on her FB before someone busted her

She made controversial comments about RUNNING OVER George Floyd protesters and said they would make great GOOD ORNAMENTS

The hospital refused to fire her initially because of FREEDOM OF SPEECH but one complaint said "Yes, we have freedom of speech, but to threaten someone's life because you don't support what they support is eivl. People are allowed to express abhorrent views online. But if you hold those views, you MUST not be allowed to serve in a position of power anywhere, for any reason. And we the people are done letting it happen"

Jere Murry whose daughter was a patient there said it was extremely disheartening to know someone in the helping field as a nurse would be bold enough to send a message like that on social media and now won't feel comfortable going to a hospital with workers like that

OSF Spokesperson Shelli Dankoff released a statement that what the heifer wrote does not align with their values and they were immediately suspended before being fired as it's not known if she quit on her own or was fired

Do you think what this wench wrote should be protected by FREE SPEECH?

I hope it wasn't with permanent marker

As many Americans cite the first amendment, it's amazing how few of them actually understand it.

Well she wasn't arrested or anything so the 1st amendment was applied here.

FREE SPEECH

why does every racist idiot spout this?

free speech is not freedom from consequences

and your free speech protects from the government, not private companies or citizens.

jfc

This is pretty obviously protected as free speech, even if it is a shitty thing to say.

Its always the racists and those with conservative opinions that don't understand what Free Speech means.

some of those who draw horses
are the same that burn crosses

this is the final form of horse girls

You are free to say whatever you want.

You are also free to feel the consequences of those things you say.

Also, doesn't that kind of run counter to the whole "do no harm" and "saving lives" thing that nurses and doctors are supposed to stick to? >_>

These are comments she made socially outside of her job.

Then she can go to jail for the rest of her life, freedom of choice, not consequences.

No matter when or where you are, you inevitably represent your job/company.

And if the company hears about your comments and there is controversy surrounding your comments then you're getting fucking cut from the company because they don't want the association of employing a blockhead

So? Her job decided they don't want her representing them because of her comments.

the first amendment does not protect her employment status from her employer.

Yes. She was representing herself. And the hospital decided that she was not the kind of person they wanted to be associated with.

Not sure why this is confusing.
