Don't I have the Right to Work in this FREE Country?

Why do you think that you have the right to deny me the right to work because you don’t agree with my politics, my gender, my religion, my sexuality, my race, my hobbies, my volunteer work or any other reason in this country that we call FREE?
I have always been a very conscientious and highly ethical worker. I take a great deal of pride in doing my job to the very best of my ability. I make every effort to be as pleasant and as agreeable as I know how to be. I also take a lot of pleasure in being able to help the students when they need help with the computers. I try to do all assigned work as quickly as I can and to my knowledge I have never failed to perform any of my work duties. It is true that I sometimes have memory lapses. There is a physical reason for this which I have explained. I am trying to learn and create new habits which will help me to avoid having these lapses as they are not intentional or caused by a lack of interest or desire on my part. If I am failing to do my work in any way I would hope that that would be communicated to me so that I can make every effort to correct it. I am sure or at least I am hoping that everyone in this environment is intelligent enough and emotionally healthy enough so that no one has a dysfunctional need to oppress, discriminate or abuse another human being. I also hope that everyone here is wise enough to understand that no one is supposed to be a carbon copy of anyone else. That I have just as much “right” to be exactly who I am as anyone else has, to be who they are. I hope that everyone here is very clear that if America is to remain a FREE country we must defend to the death everyone’s right to be and express them selves FREELY. That it is important to protect my right to be who I am politically, spiritually, emotionally, humanly in every way because that is the only way that we can protect and maintain this country as a FREE country. To protect my rights is the only way to protect your rights. America can not be free if it chooses any group of people and says that everyone can be free in this country except for this “special” group. If we take that attitude we follow in Hitler’s footsteps. That is a very dangerous, dysfunctional and abusive path to take. Hitler is only one example of many in history. With the perspective of time abuse has always shown itself for the awful flaw in human nature that it is. No one needs to agree with me, but my right to exist must be protected if this is a FREE country. I don’t think I need to explain that in order to exist I need a job. I will take care of my job to the very best of my ability and I expect to be treated fairly and in the same manner that all other employees are treated. I can honestly say that I feel that the majority of my co-workers do exactly that. I am only writing this because I am getting the impression that a small, but influential, portion of my co-workers may not be healthy enough to separate the indoctrination they receive from their religion, from the reality of life. It never hurts to remind people that they are not put here to judge nor abuse others. We can never be truly civilized; we can never create peace on earth as long as we give ourselves permission to behave badly to anyone. No matter how good you think your reasons are, no matter how many people encourage you to behave poorly, ultimately you are the one who decides whether your behavior will be healthy or unhealthy, abusive or not abusive. Indeed all wars would end instantly if every soldier made the decision that no matter how justified their country tried to convince them that their position in a war was; that they themselves would not give themselves permission to behave badly. That would mean that every soldier would make the personal decision that they could not kill or mistreat another human being. What a concept!
