[He was NOT fired....you cannot be fired from a job you were never hired for]
He was fired from his government job.
“Dr. Eric Walsh was one of the nation’s leading health administrators until being fired in 2014 by the Georgia Department of Public Health. A lay minister in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Walsh was fired after Georgia officials learned of his faith.”
That is Walsy’s take. I live in Georgia. This story is two years old. He had an offer which the state pulled back during reference check.
