Topeka boy donates tonsils for cadaver dog training

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – At seven-and-a-half years old, a Topeka boy named Hudson underwent surgery that opened the door for a unique, potentially life-changing opportunity for an organization and its dogs. As Hudson healed from his tonsillectomy, a group of four-legged detectives got to work, tested to see if they could sniff out the boy’s […]

A tintype of an unidentified African American woman. This photo was passed down through generations of the Platt family. Jireh Platt was an active abolitionist in Mendon, Illinois. His sons Enoch and Luther, members of the Beecher Bible and Rifle Colony, settled in Wabaunsee County, Kansas Territory, where they operated a station on the Underground Railroad. The Platts may have helped this woman escape to freedom. The fact that she is wearing a wedding ring is significant, as slaves weren't legally allowed to marry.

To Avoid Any Ties Which Might Displease

If you want to imagine what freedom of speech and association looks like, it might help to see what it demands when it’s constitutionally required.

In the United States, the First Amendment provides that Congress shall make no law “abridging the freedom of speech” and the Fourteenth Amendment extended that guarantee to the states. Laws that discriminate between speech on the basis of its content are presumptively unconstitutional.[1] Equally, governments are prohibited from discriminating against speakers on the basis of their protected speech. They cannot retaliate against speakers.[2] Nor can they discriminate against them in the delivery of government benefits or privileges. 

That has important consequences for government employees.

Under the First Amendment, governments cannot discriminate against employees for their protected speech. They cannot bar them from employment.[3] They cannot decline to renew their contracts.[4] They cannot dismiss them.[5] They cannot discriminate against them in promotions, transfers, recalls, or hiring decisions.[6] Similar protections extend to government contractors.[7] It was once said that “[a policeman] may have a constitutional right to talk politics … [but] he has no constitutional right to be a policeman.”[8]  But we now recognize that dismissal for speech threatens speech: “the threat of dismissal … is nonetheless a potent means of inhibiting speech.”[9]

There are comparable protections for the cognate First Amendment right to freedom of association.[10] Governments cannot require employees to disclose all their associational ties or political contributions.[11] Nor can they require private associations to disclose their full membership lists.[12] If employees lacked that privacy, they would feel “caution and timidity in their associations.”[13] If their employers could demand an employee’s associational ties, the consequences would be dire: 

Even if there were no disclosure to the general public, the pressure upon [an employee] to avoid any ties which might displease those who control his professional destiny would be constant and heavy. Public exposure, bringing with it the possibility of public pressures upon [employers] to discharge [employees] who belong to unpopular or minority organizations, would simply operate to widen and aggravate the impairment of constitutional liberty. [14]

Freedom of association is not about state retribution alone. Even if government action only infringes protected freedoms through private reprisal, governments are accountable for infringement. “It is not sufficient to answer … [that the infringement] follows not from state action but from private community pressures.” The government is responsible for both.[15] 

I wonder what it would be like if we thought about private actors the same way.
