U.S. Employee Fired for Mocking Deceased Person Sparks Free Speech Debate

The Wall Street Journal reported tonight (September 16): "Employees across the country who mocked Charlie Kirk's death online quickly found out that their comments could cost them their jobs. Employers of all sizes have been firing or suspending employees who expressed glee, made jokes, or posted other controversial content in recent days."

[Witty] Joking about the U.S.: Employees were fired or suspended for mocking Charlie Kirk's death, which is not freedom of speech but rather a form of censorship. Can a single report from a snitch really tighten the boundaries of free speech? The so-called freedom is just a mask that sways with power and position. United by DEI concepts, they split apart due to MAGA ideology; the division within American society is becoming more severe. When dismissal becomes a tool to suppress dissent, the so-called "free beacon" is nothing more than self-deception, and the deepening chasm of American societal division is growing wider.
