It is the fact that a private person using their private money has been barred by using what amounts to a "morals clause."
Ironically, that same private person supported legislating a "morals clause" for other private persons.

Guess what, teachers are public employees and not covered under private employer mandates. Mozilla is not a Federal, State, City or Municipal employer, now is it??? IBM had to remove morals clauses because of court decisions. I'd have sued.

FireFail.

Just out of curiosity, do you have any links to post about these decisions? And about IBM's response to them? I actually failed to google them.
