OneNewsNow reports on a grave violation of individual religious liberty:
An American-based corporation that designs and sells consumer electronics and provides communication services has allegedly fired one of its leadership consultants for his political and religious views on same-sex "marriage." Dr. Frank Turek has gone public with his story.
In 2008, Turek was hired by San Jose, California-based Cisco Systems to design and conduct a leadership and team-building program. After completing a training session earlier this year, a manager in that session phoned in a complaint to Marilyn Nagel, senior director of inclusion and diversity for Cisco, after learning about Turek's book Correct, Not Politically Correct: How Same-Sex Marriage Hurts Everyone.
"The guy who saw the book never read it -- he just didn't like the fact that I was against same-sex marriage," Turek tells OneNewsNow. "And he told the in-charge director there about it and they fired me within hours, without ever even looking at the book or even ever asking me a question. They just fired me without ever talking to me."
Turek says he challenged Nagel about how he could be fired for embracing a conservative worldview which was never discussed in the workplace, but contends he was only given platitudes about the "inclusive" work environment of Cisco.
Let's help ensure this doesn't happen to Christians in New York! Call the undecided Senators right now!

You religious bigots do not control the corporations. Suck it up. Go away. Die.
Exactly how does preventing marriage equality ensure that people won't be fired for books they have written that conflict with an employer's goals and values? Hmmm....
marriage equality is bogus.its gay marriage. my god they even have a politically correct name for gay marriage. my question to the secular socialists is does so-called marriage equality include polygamy and bigamy. outrageous. MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN PERIOD. NO EXCEPTIONS.
REV. JOHN- YOUR RIGHT ON-MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ON WOMAN, PERIOD. NO EXCEPTIONS BECOUSE THAT IS WHAT GOD TEACHES. AND TRUE PEOPLE OF FAITH WHO ARE INFLUENCED BY THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST ARE GOING ARE GOING TO SEE THAT. ITS COMMON SENSE. BUT PEOPLE WHO ARE INFLUENCED BY THE GOSPEL OF SECULAR HUMANISM.WILL NOT SEE THAT. THEY ARE SECULAR SOCIALISTS WHO WAND AND ANYTHING GOES SOCIETY. NO STANDARDS-NA RULES.OUTRAGOEUS. THE LIBERAL ELITIST WAY. BUT PEOPLE OF FIA\TH STAND IN THEIR WAY. AND THE SECULAR SOCIALIST SIDE -SUCH AS THE ACLU DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WIH BIGAMY OR POLYGAMY. MY MESSGE FOR THE NEW YORK REPUBLICANS. IS KILL THE BILL.
Would a gay advocate be fired for a book titled "Promoting marriage equality" the medias would have been roaring for months, and the employer would have been jailed.
There we are: we are in totalitarian system, and we must fight to restore what we value more: America as a land of freedom.
We always have defeated totaliarians: first with the nazis, then with the communists. Now with these grand-grandsons of the Jacobin Terror.
Either you have freedom of religion and freedom of belief and speech or you do not. The time is rapidly coming to fight for legislation that protects our rights. No one should lose a job for being a Christian or stating the truth that marriage is between a man and a woman.
This companys diversity and inclusion policies are out of whack. Inclusion was for people and not human behaviors and conducts. No one should be allowed to force their conduct down your throats. This company violated one of our most basic civil rights. By demanding an acceptance of human conduct against your morals they have violated your civil right to morals and characters.
Turek needs to sue. His civil rights have been violated. We need to teach these LGBT Nazis a lesson. We won't back down and we aren't afraid of them.
Companies are right to get rid of consultants with views that harms gay and lesbian employees. Good for Cisco!
Right on, Heidi. Corporate tyranny for the win!
This is a blatant violation of Turek's rights. There needs to be a suit filed against Cisco, as well as a boycott, until sufficient restitution has been made. The homosexual ideology is nothing but a weak framework of perversion aimed at the destruction of traditional marriage/family. If we stand up to their pathological lifestyle - they WILL back down. It is time to put this PLAGUE back where it belongs in the cess-pool where it overflowed from!
Turek did nothing wrong. The homosexual Taliban are more than willing to trample over First Amendment freedoms to get their destructive agenda passed.
Disgusting.
No wonder why Cisco's stock is in the toilet.
And in most states, gay people can still be fired from their jobs simply for being gay--even if they never discuss the subject at work. So what's your point? Isn't the right of a company or organization to fire somebody for something completely unrelated to their job one of the things opponents of same-sex marriage are fighting for, like the religious exceptions they are demanding to the New York marriage bill?
