It's flat and stationary, just like God created it.
Just because you belief liars, should you lose your job when NASA is outted as the obvious frauded they are? What about your life, should that be forfeited because you think that you are being lied to?
Can you really sit their and think that you are beyond being fooled?
You only think it's a ball because it's been spoon feed to you, once you dig into the actual facts it all falls to pieces. You have never seen the earth as a ball, the curve that's supposed to be their is not. Also its not spinning at 1000 mph, obviously..

If he is caught teaching it to kids yes, kids dont have the knowledge to be able to justify against it or for it. Ther minds arnt developed enough to think against what people they trust teach them. I dont care if someone beleives it or not as long as u dont let it effect your job. As an educator teach them what they need to know and not what you want them to know. Thats why we have such a big problem with teachers instilling there political bullshit on our kids and they take it as fact bc they are told there whole lives that they need to listen to there teachers. So when they teach our kids there opinion they take it as fact and not a debate. Thats why alot of liberal colleger kods say what they beleive and have zero way of debating there stance. Bc when they learned it they took it as a factual statement and not a oppinion so they mever had a reason to question it so never developed and argument for it or even know why they beleive it. Its like trying to argue with someone who tells u gravity is a myth or something. Fhats what u have been taught your whole life and most people wouldnt even know where to start defending it bc they have never had to.

So yes you want to get them fired potentially. Thanks for the answer. Btw so those teachers also told you that the earth is a globe, should you then question it or take it as a fact?
Thats what is in the sylabus to teach if the question comes on the test for statewide test they need to know the answer that would be correct. U cant promote opinion but ya can teach what majority of the world takes as fact. We didnt go to the moon but u cant teach kids that are not yours that. Thats up to there parents to explain until history books are rewritten and the government comes clean its ur job to teach them what the answers they need to know to pass. Ita not a teachers job to raise the kids its there job to teach them what they need to know to pass test. But the earth isnt flat ive seen alot of arguments for it and only low iq would not beable to detroy those arguments. I c how people can beleive it bc they have gone so far down the rabbit hole they cant beleive anything they were told but something are just what they are.

I'm not particularly sure, it's a good question. What does the Constitution say, and what about the Supreme Court? There's an upcoming case on this here, since I take it you're referring to deplatforming and financially destroying us for disagreeing with foundational beliefs about race.

I'm pretty sure the answer you're looking for is "no." The founders set up this country in the 1700's, they would probably have been more explicitly nuanced about this stuff had they known about stuff like private monopolies and social media. Really what we're talking about when we discuss free speech, practically, not denotatively, is whether your hated, unpopular, and "dangerous" ideas have the ability to destroy powerful institutions. Like, whether you're able to speak freely about your unpopular ideas and use them to change minds. When you allow people to get ruined over their ideas, the people whose free speech actually matters is threatened because they will be forced to be quiet in order to preserve their livelihoods. The people who get real hard-up on technicalities and definitions are simply people who want to censor people they don't like or find dangerous. Everyone says they like free speech until they encounter their enemies. THEN it's an exception to the rule.
Furthermore, the fact that racist speech is being negotiated reveals the nonexistence of white supremacy in society. Imagine if Hitler had to "dogwhistle" to his supporters. Imagine if the Armenians tried to pass laws banning anti Armenian speech in Turkey. It's fucking retarded. Brown people aren't oppressed, and being called a low IQ nigger is about as damaging as being called a fragile white person who needs to stop breeding. They are just crybabies who use anecdotes and stories to make psychologically damaged whites advance their racial interests. That's why they flock here and then immediately complain about how white people treat them.

It's the employer's decision.
Your question implies you're thinking of regulations to be enforced by violence. Only primitives do that. Stop thinking like that and evolve.

not an argument

Did you think I was trying to argue? Are you looking to get into an argument? Is that why you're here?
If I was the employer I probably wouldn't hire a flat-earther, but I have the right to make that decision myself.

There is the concept of non-overlapping majesteria. It's why people can live their life believing there is an immortal being in the sky while acting sane in other areas of life.

Hi I'm blind and I can't see this thing you call colour, therefore it doesn't exist dummy.
Hi I have functioning eyes and can see this thing called colour so it exists trust me dummy even though you're blind.
You are double as retarded as both of these hypothetical people combined.

If they're and engineer there's lots of things they could be doing where it'd have no bearing on their job at all. Now if they were hired to work on a spacecraft and it'd interfere with their work, maybe yeah. You'd need proof they couldn't do their work to prevent paying out unemployment or getting sued though.
