Ah well, someone switched a video. Maybe Fox. Maybe the website. Who knows. But, in any case, the context, with direct quotes, is right in the article anyhow.
Why would FOX Business switch the video. *rme*
I have no idea.
If you don't like the culture at a company, leave. If you start throwing lawsuits, you will end up either fired or have every one scared to be around you. Nothing raises a red flag for management more than some one screaming about their “rights”.
I have been told that I didn't get a promotion because I don't drink with the guys and go to strip clubs. Is that fair? No. Could I have sued? Maybe, they communicated this to me in an email and I could have raised cain with it.
But that is the way of the world, and I left for a better job. Not always an option, but it is something to keep in mind.
I insist on a moral government...so should you. A moral government of course behaves and upholds moral behavior and punishes or shuns in some way immoral behavior.
In regards to “what is unthinkable and what is reasonable”? That is too open ended and broad to answer succinctly. Can you elaborate more fully what you are asking?

I'm in the Army. Every quarter, we have to attend some kind of training meant to teach us not to harass each other. We have posters on walls in prominent places telling us who to contact if we feel we have been harassed in some way.
Ah! Now I understand!
The private sector is a bit different. A company with a lot of bullying going on soon finds itself without many employees (well, not in the downturn). In the Army, you can’t just go work for another plant.
I had a friend who was thinking of re-enlisting in the Air Force reserves as a flight engineer. He had been a hydraulics mechanic and the offer was that in return for a 39 week school, you incurred a six year reserve commitment. I went down to recruiter’s office with him. The recruiter told me that he had a guy who had graduated from C.W. Post College (probably “The C.W. Post University” today) who could not pass the entrance exam for Air Force enlisted man. That individual had been defrauded by the American education establishment, there is no other word for it.
