Nobody is advocating putting him in jail, nor would I be in favor of the police or military interfering with his rights. He has a right to a job certainly. I would love for a fair and impartial prosecutor to look at all of the actions of Baylor coaches and officials to see if any laws have been broken.
Employers have a right to make a hire decision based on public information as long as they are not discriminating against a legally protected class. As citizens, we have a right to have an opinion as to who our government hires and to express that opinion - which is all that we are doing. If it causes this school district to change its mind about the person they chose to hire, nobody's rights will have been violated. Art Briles has no more "rights" to that job than anyone else.
Agreed. It's akin to us having the right to yell fire in a crowded theater but then being responsible for the damage that you alone caused by doing so. Responsibility holds hands with Rights and past performance is the most reliable indicator of future performance.
I once used Facebook and other social media to check on applicants who presented themselves as one type of person. The company i worked for later determined that managers could not use FB any longer in the hiring process due to possible discriminatory impact, but I thought it was pretty valuable the few times I did. Briles as a public figure has no right to a job without having his past scrutinized and balanced against his achievements to determine his deserving a job offer or not. If there was one girl affected and he had made amends with her and her family that would be a different story than his continuing denials and the pretty overwhelming numbers of young ladies involved. By all accounts he's also comported himself as a king sized prick too, which doesn't help him either.
