What happened to freedom of speech ?

I read of the firing of a dpw employee for his comments on face book.  I too found them offensive. Having been born and raised in Maplewood it occurs to me that the freedom of speech would never have been punished by such punitive action and am repulsed by the Mayor for the action he took and his denial of our basic rights.
