Apr. 7, 2014, Dennis Prager said: “There are times when a person’s views are so horrific, it is hard to understand how a company could continue to employ someone. If a guy is in the Ku Klux Klan, if a guy is in a white supremacist fascistic group, I understand it. If you deny the Holocaust and you deny it publicly. There are a few [beliefs a person can hold that make him worthy of being fired] because you’re talking about freaks. Freaks are in the KKK.”
What if you believe blacks or Jews or Chinese are superior (as do many members of those groups)? What if you deny the Armenian genocide publicly? What are the other incorrect positions on history that should get a person fired? I suspect that many, if not most, Chinese deny the extent of Mao’s genocide. Should they be fired?
What about Americans who have the identical views on race as Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Harry Truman? Should they be fired? They were white supremacists (in the sense Prager uses the term).
