      Speaking Out - From Inside: Freedom of Speech and Government Whistleblowers

      12 PM EST

      The Supreme Court has made clear that public employees do not forfeit their First Amendment rights in exchange for a paycheck. But that has not stopped government agencies at all levels, from Cabinet-level departments to the smallest county school districts, from threatening employees with discipline if they speak publicly about work-related matters.
