Well, the picture was taken at work. The child’s mother had him in the office. Why pick on a three year old child?

I'm not defending the guy. I think he's a complete creep and worse. But I still don't like or approve of this trend of firing people for Socual Media postings. we should be free to express our opinions, on our own time, without fear of losing our jobs.

Once we start looking the other way because the we don't approve of the guy who got fired and he's not the kind of guy we'd want to work with, it won't be long before guys we like who share our opinions and persuations start getting fired for saying what we believe. How long before we start reading about people losing their jobs because of support for Traditional Marriage, for instance?

"Well, the picture was taken at work."

You know, that's the one piece I didn't consider prior to reading your comment. Yes, this is now the employers business. That's the only connection that I see where the employer should be involved at all though.
