Maese Sends Educator Cease & Desist

I don't know what it is about the MAGA crowd that makes them act so tough but deep down they are all a bunch of snowflakes.

Its really hard to comprehend that level of hypocrisy. But, I'm going off on a tangent really early so let me get back to the purpose of this post.

Where was I?

Ah yes, the Cease and Desist.

Word around the water cooler is that Patty Maese had a pretty prominent local law firm that does mostly government work for local entities send a cease and desist letter to Professor Ruby Montana. If you recall, the two went back and forth on Facebook over comments in which Patty Maese interjected herself into a story about the Flu Klux Klan Open Texas protest a few weekends ago.

A source indicates that the letter had a lot of words in it meant to scare the recipient like "police" and gave an account of what happened that I can only describe as laughable.

Interestingly the letter allegedly indicates that Maese was "force to resign" according to a source familiar with the letter. If in fact Maese was forced to resign, the question would be was it because she violated some company policy or if it was because of people contacting the station expressing their displeasure with her comment.

Lets keep a few things in mind - no one put a gun to Maese's head and forced her to make the comments she made. She did that all on her own and is therefore responsible for what she says.

Thats the trick about the 1st Amendment - you're free to say what you want, but your boss is also free to let you go. You're free to say what you want, but you're not free from consequence.

The letter further states that Maese was being "bullied" for her comments. Knowing several members of the Flu Klux Klan attendees, I'm gonna venture a wild guess that Montana has had to deal with the same kind of pushback from people who take a position opposite of hers. That is what happens when you express an opinion.

I don't know that I ever saw Montana ask people to call KTSM to have Maese fired. Calling KTSM to let them know you don't like the comments made by one of their on-air talent - is not calling to get someone fired. And its not the fault of Montana - had the on-air talent not interjected herself into a story, it never would've happened in the first place.

I guess the greater question is why does Maese think she's more entitled to the First Amendment than anyone else?
