So one example in the US from 1995? You've got less than ten examples of people losing their jobs over the course of two decades and you expect me to believe that it's a problem?
And then the link says that it didn't cost anyone their education. The article is about how his punishment was rescinded.
Well, then people don't want to hear their bigoted bullshit and have no obligation to do so. Why do you want to force people to listen to shit?

There are plenty of examples in there, you just don't want to see them.
So don't go and don't listen to their "bigoted bullshit", a large majority of other people are perfectly fine to listen to people they disagree or might agree with. I don't know if the speaker is "anti-whatever", I'm more guessing he wants to prevent situations like: http://36.media.tumblr.com/ad43d6c2841272181e27829e0f0d9e4c/tumblr_nmre0mFjmM1u0r0dgo1_1280.png

Trying to deny someone the right to speak in general is quite different from "not wanting to hear their bullshit", as the article so eloquently states. Nobody is forcing these people to listen to anyone.
