It's not against the law for an employer to fire you for protesting in a vast majority of the US (I think one state is not At Will? They're not my state so I don't know for sure.)

The idea is that your employer cannot enslave you (lol) and so the working relationship can be severed at any time, in any direction (theirs or yours), barring a contract of some kind, as long as the termination isn't for a protected reason (race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, or disability) - political activity is not a protected class.

They can fire you for being a Republican, a Democrat, a Socialist, because you wore pink shoes today, because they don't like your haircut, or because they really felt like firing someone today. Even when it seems not on the level, proving that a termination was for a protected reason, absent a pattern of abuse, is almost impossible.

What are your opinions concerning the idea that Selective Mutism is an unneeded name for intense social anxiety?
