News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

The distinction is jailing or fining. It still upholds that the government cannot throw you in jail for speaking against them like the classic example of a protestor who cannot be jailed for attending a legally organized rally. For corporations there is not really a fear of jailing unless they tried to imprison the CEO or leadership which hasn’t really been a concern. Government retaliation against corporations is usually tied to damaging their ability to make a profit or operate their business. If Freedom of Speech is limited solely to no jail time and no direct fines then all these actions can be retaliation but they are still legal.

That would basically contradict Citizens United and every Bue State could instantly turnaround and punish any corporation that donated to the GOP.

I don’t disagree. I also don’t think the people behind this care. Corporations are evil and woke now and should be punished accordingly. Over 85% of corporations have some form of DEI initiative so eventually they will need to boycott each and every one.

Right. Until they force them to go back in time to the way things used to be. That usually works, doesn’t it?

Checking again…

Is this thread about RCID or corporate DEI initiatives?

Maybe a bit of thread drift?

Time to return to main topic, thanks.

My wish didn't come true. RCID is still gone.

Sometimes they take a bit longer.

So now we’ve moved from DEI Initiatives at corporations to DEI Initiatives in the Armed Forces?

A filing is a wish your barrister makes.

Maybe they are trying to pump prior staff to bring forth all the imagined wrongdoing and running into resistance

Is it to protect them through these legal issues?

So of course, this new policy, for whatever reason is to help the current board. I have to assume there are (former RCID) existing employees on both sides of the argument and obviously are afraid to speak up in fear for their jobs.

It will be interesting to see what happens here.
