Heh... I stand up for the rights of Nazis to speak freely. Standing up for her isn't even going to get me bitched at.
However, free speech has consequences. This probably isn't a Constitutional matter, but she absolutely has the right to do this. They absolutely have the right (I'm pretty sure) to fire her.
So, I'm sympathetic but not surprised. Freedom of expression should be more than a part of the Constitution, it should be a societal goal. I'd much prefer a world where off-duty expression doesn't risk your employment but that's not up to me.
Err... Who are these 'free speech folks' that you're thinking of? We used to just call those people by the name, 'Americans.' The liberty of free speech applies to all, or none.
