Understood. Yes, none of the circumstances you mentioned impress me as being "right," (though I think in the long run, laws designed to restrict discrimination cause more harm than good). Nevertheless my concern involves public behaviour, that particularly non-passive attribute against which we must reserve the right to discriminate. An employer should not have the right to launch an offensive against anyone. But in the event an employer should launch an offensive against his superiors (as was the case with Rocker), that superior must have the right of disassociation. Mind, this right should extend both ways. An American employee who found South Africa's apartheid system repugnant, should have had (and did have) the right to leave his employer should he have discovered that employer a staunch supporter of apartheid. It is not PC to demand the freedom of association on the basis of behaviour. It is American.

Okay okay. It would be good to probe private thoughts to help with hiring decisions. It would be helpful to know if a potential employee would not deviate from the missionary position because that information would probably say a lot about this person's ability to explore and try things. One may want the "missionary only" folk to do good honest work that does not change (assembly lines, etc.) On the other hand one may want the "sky is the limit" folk to join one in the bedroom, er uh, the boardroom.
