Description

Fired for speaking his mind? A Texas State professor is suing the university, claiming his First Amendment rights were violated after he was terminated for remarks made at a socialist conference. Dr. Alter says his personal views, expressed off-campus, shouldn't cost him his job, while the university argues his statements don't align with their values. Was this a breach of contract and free speech, or a necessary action by the university?
