freedom of speech attacked again

So it seems that there is no freedom of speech for public employees -
If you teach, and criticize the president, you'll get suspended from your job

So, if you mention an idea, are you "teaching" that viewpoint??

Also:
Police in Britain have been informed that " Disciplinary proceedings may be considered against posters of material that may be (among other things) defamatory, offensive or otherwise inappropriate."

World Weary Detective: "It is therefore with deep regret and great sadness that I must announce that I will no longer be submitting posts to this blog. I cannot challenge New Scotland Yard. I am weary indeed and cowardice is my bedmate. The protection of my family must take precedence.

To each and every one of you - take note of what has happened here and be afraid.

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever. - George Orwell"
