“It doesn’t matter which presidential candidate you voted for. You have the liberty of expressing your political inclinations in the workplace. But, this is only true if you work in one of four states, namely California, Connecticut, South Carolina, and Louisiana. These four states have statutes that protect an employee’s right to freely express political views.”

“Employment is considered “at-will” under the laws of most states, which means your employer may fire you (and you may quit) for any reason or no reason at all...Even in states with “at-will” employment laws, employers must follow any written policy for disciplinary procedures and terminations (often included in the employee handbook). For instance, a written policy that employees get two warnings for being late before they’re fired must be followed. An employee fired after just one warning may have a valid claim for wrongful discharge.”

As a rule, you can be fired for your political beliefs. As a rule, conservatives do not act that way - but maybe we should START!

Perhaps, but if he merely stated a fact of who currently resides in the White House, that’s not political, that’s stating a fact and his occupation is as a teacher.

I wonder if the school district receives federal money and if that comes with certain restrictions like the district having to comply with the Hatch Act, etc.

Trump is our President, that's a factual not a political statement.

Trump is our President is not a political belief. It is fact.
