In Darlingh v. Maddaleni, the Seventh Circuit just upheld the firing of a school counselor who gave a profanity-laced anti-trans tirade at a public rally. She promised "not a single" student under her watch would "ever, ever transition," and made sure to identify herself as a Milwaukee Public Schools employee while doing it.
She sued, claiming the school district violated her First Amendment rights by terminating her. The 7th Circuit disagreed.

"This is a business." Google CEO fired back and fired protesting employees.
"This is a business, not a place to act in a way that disrupts coworkers or makes them feel unsafe…."
Those were the words of Google CEO Sundar Pichai in a post on his company's corporate blog.
He's referring to Google's recent firing of 50 workers involved in protests against the company's cloud-computing contract with the Israeli government.
