“Thou shalt not travel to Mississippi” demand the governors of Washington, New York, and Vermont. Mississippi’s new legislation is believed to be mean spirited and discriminatory and thus these governors feel it is in their power to limit travel of their own citizenry.
Reminiscent of the big brother behavior of the Mayor of San Fransisco, who made similar demands of city employees banning travel to North Carolina, these governors are overstepping their authority.
The mayoral panties are all twisted up because North Carolina has passed legislation preventing anti-discrimination protection for lesbian, gay and transgender people thus nullifying a Charlotte ordinance that allowed for transgender bathroom use of the opposite gender.
City workers were banned by the Lee from “non-essential” travel to North Carolina, Truth and Action reports.
The Mississippi legislation is viewed as discriminatory against the LGBT community, yet in actuality it protects all citizens of Mississippi from government over reach by protecting “sincerely held religious beliefs and moral convictions of individuals, organizations and private associations.”
Citizens of Mississippi who hold religious convictions are given the freedom to exercise their faith without repudiation. Under this legislation, people of faith will be protected if they deny wedding services to same-sex couples. It also allows employers to take their religious beliefs to inform such work place values such as dress code and bathroom or locker access.
The legislation does not remove civil rights from any one group, but strengthens the First Amendment for all.
ban? wth they going to do if you choose to do so?
I would go Mississippi before I would step foot in New York City !!!!!
I agree with you, brother. NYC or Chicago. Crime rates are insane there. Morals just as bad.
Amen, Terry.
Bradley Chaffins so your boss can’t tell you were you can’t go while he’s paying you?
At some point there is probably going to be some kind of revolution in an attempt to stop this kind dictatorship.
Ole miss is my new favorite vacation spot…no socialists will be there
Steven Casperson, No because you are what’s called. AN AT WILL EMPLOYEE. That means at any time nobody is able to make you stay there against your own will. Also the employer can fire you. Therefore you are FREE at any time to leave. You may not have a job when you decide to come back. But you’re still free. That’s what an at will employee means. If you need it I can paste the definition for ya. mployment relationships are presumed to be “at-will” in all U.S. states except Montana. The U.S. is one of a handful of countries where employment is predominantly at-will. Most countries throughout the world allow employers to dismiss employees only for cause. Some reasons given for our retention of the at-will presumption include respect for freedom of contract, employer deference, and the belief that both employers and employees favor an at-will employment relationship over job security.
A. At-Will Defined
At-will means that an employer can terminate an employee at any time for any reason, except an illegal one, or for no reason without incurring legal liability. Likewise, an employee is free to leave a job at any time for any or no reason with no adverse legal consequences.
Only remove Allah and Islam, no other religion, especially Christians and Jews.
I go there from time to time on the gulf coast to goof off at the casinos.
And how would they know where we have traveled too and through to begin with? To do this, use only ca$h, no credit cards if staying in Miss or NC.
