Koran Burner Fired From Job

Sadly, people are quick to jump to his defense. Although I can certainly sympathize with anyone who doesn't have a job in this economy (heck, I majored in a subject that I thought would land me a job, and I still don't have one that is sufficient to pay for rent, transportation, bills, and food), he did bring it upon himself. With any job comes a set of standards. Seeing that he works in public service, he is expected to treat people with respect regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or economic background. Sure, people violate moral codes all the time, but he stupidly put himself in a position to get caught. Of course, burning a Koran behind closed doors doesn't make it justified, but his job could have been spared had he not been in the public eye. It bothers me when people say that NJ Transit is encroaching upon his right to protest. What about the fact that he's not protesting on behalf of a noble cause? He is offending a specific group of people (who might be potential NJ Transit customers) just because he's too ignorant to realize that the entire Muslim population isn't responsible for 9/11.
