We are living in the medieval 21st Century

RE: We are living in the medieval 21st Century
I watched the video; it's terrible history and law.  He equates professional censorship in our day with the very public (often fatal) punishments that were meted out to heretics during the High & Late Middle Ages (trials of witchcraft being more typical of the early modern period.)  Some professions (law, medicine, psychology, etc.) have professional codes of conduct; for instance, if you are a pharmacist who is opposed to birth control, then, your opinion that contraception is an abortifacient may bar you from working at Walgreens, but, you do not have a right to work at Walgreens, and, Walgreens may discriminate against you for any reason, except, for those areas of life that constitute a protected class (religion, race, etc.)  And, it is up to the Courts to determine what is (and is not) protected speech with respect to employment.  For instance, if you think that interracial marriage is an abomination before God, you may not be able to teach at most public high schools in the United States, but, if you are transgender (like me), it would be against the Law for a school district to discriminate against you (although, they do so all the time.)
