I'm guessing you are not familiar with the case and only read the CNN coverage.

Employers have responsibilities to maintain certain standards at a workplace. Tesla absolutely flaunted those standards to a ridiculous degree. The first jury on the case awarded over $100 million to the plaintiff.

Go look at the evidence presented in the trial. It's not one bad word being used once.

I'd argue it's a first amendment violation for the state to require an employee be fired or reprimanded for saying/writing mean words; but that's not to say there wasn't more to it than that.

The civil rights act itself is a slap in the face of the 10th amendment and should be repealed post haste.
