This is a Re-Air of a Law and Culture Classic!

Today we delve into two cases that involve alleged harassment against employees who didn't "keep quiet" about who they are. They exercised their freedom of expression and it cost them their jobs. In one case, the employee showed tattoos at work and was reprimanded though other similarly situated employees also had tattoos but were not reprimanded. In the second case, the employee shared the results of her genetic background with her colleagues after taking a genetic test. The co-workers responded in shocking and disturbing ways. How many personal truths should we share at work? Do we have an unfettered First Amendment right to bear all of who we are as art on our bodies? What about those ancestry kits? Would you take an ancestry test? If so, would you share the results with your colleagues? Finally, do you have a right to freedom of expression in the workplace?
