“The decades-old statute – first reported by FITSNews ”

The decades-old statute was a well kept secret until Fizzynews “reported” it? GTFO.

You don’t have to go very far to find Alan Wilson unwilling to enforce the law!

And despite Wilson’s letter, Clemson will now perform a flaming double somersault with a sword clenched in its teeth, then pole vault through razor wire and over a pit of cobras to find another reason not to fire these anti-Christian, communist revolutionaries. Clemson, despite its location and alumni, is not in any way a conservative leaning institution. It is a captured, hardened citadel, a prize of the marxist left’s intelligencia and propaganda arms. They feign moderation when conservative state political leaders come to call or examine their requests for funding, but just like USC, behind closed doors their faculty sneers at and abhors the common citizenry of the state.

That letter does not “clear” anything.
It does not direct Clemson.
It does not have the force of law.
It simply grandstands another issue that he had nothing to do with yet he takes credit.
The Wilson Campaign activities simply are not credible and will not stand up to scrutiny.

What fascist moron Alan Wilson fails to comprehend is that state employees are protected from government retaliation for exercising their First Amendment rights by 42 U.S.C. 1983, which creates a cause of action against state actors who knowingly violate constitutional rights of state employees. While Clemson may not be criminally prosecution for violating its employees First Amendment rights, it can be held civilly liable for compensatory and punitive damages, as well as attorney fees. Any Clemson or other state employee who is fired for exercising their First Amendment rights should immediately contact an attorney who specializes in employment and civil rights law.
