I was noticing with other cases that people were fired and suspended from jobs and schools over things like this. The suspensions/firings seem to all have been overturned because of free speech rights.

It does seem to come down to Judges are the only ones without free speech rights. I won't argue that they should be able to be racist and hateful - that is obviously the perception of many - but it does seem rather ironic, anyway.



(I did read in another aricle that the Judge didn't wear blackface originally - but the judge and wife put it on at the suggestion of the brother-in-law who was "Buckwheat" when their costume had "no effect" otherwise. They shouldn't have been so concerned about getting attention. :shrug: )
