    Atlanta fire chief fired wins in court!

    More than three years after it occurred, the termination of Atlanta's fire chief has been ruled unconstitutional.
    A federal district court ruled today that the city's policies restricting non-work speech – like a book for Christian men that Chief Kelvin Cochran wrote – are too broad and allow city officials to unconstitutionally discriminate against views with which they disagree.
    "Government officials can't force employees to get permission before engaging in free speech," says attorney Kevin Theriot of Alliance Defending Freedom, the organization representing Cochran. "As the court found, the city can't leave such decisions to the whims of government officials."

    Nice! I remember when this happened. Good for him.

    Mayor Kasim Reed is a liberal. He ordered the guy to sensitivity training because of his vies on same sex marriage, etc. In other words, if you don't ave the same opinion about those things, then you need to be trained out of it. Glad that Mayor is going now after the new election.

    "We are pleased that Judge Leigh Martin May ruled today that Mayor Reed acted lawfully and appropriately in terminating Mr. Cochran's employment," said Jenna Garland, spokesperson for Mayor Reed. "This lawsuit was never about religious beliefs or the First Amendment. Rather, it is an employment matter involving an executive in charge of more than 1,100 firefighters and tasked to lead by example."

    Ooookay...
