It's so funny to see employers try to word their bull**** with legalize
to try to make sound all official and legal. A lot of it is not. An

they want, it doesn't make it legal and it's doesn't supersede your 1st
amendment rights.

The First Amendment constrains the government, not the private sector, and it is *not* a
violation of the employee's First Amendment rights for a *private* employer to muzzle (or
attempt to) the employee's speech, whether in or out of the workplace.


I believe you are mistaken. There are private companies in the Detroit
who have been taken to court and order to provide breaks and rooms with
eastward facing windows to allow their Muslim employees time and place
to practice their first amendment rights.
