This is a quote about the 1st amendment, which has nothing to do with a private company firing a person for having opinions contrary to the culture they're attempting to foster (whether disingenuously or not). I agree she shouldn't be jailed or tortured for being an ignorant piece of shit, but absolutely fire her.

This is moderate "both sides"-ism at its most childish and irresponsible. When you tolerate intolerant views, you normalize them. Disagreeing with people isn't the same as using a public platform to espouse misguided beliefs, rooted in hate and intolerance.

Do you believe the voices of Klansmen need to be heard? Sure, the quote sounds harsh, but social pressure is one of the most effective weapons available when it comes to combatting things like racism. If you let hate get comfortable, it spreads. Just ask Facebook and Twitter.

You understand the Jedi aren't the good guys, right? In fact, they try really, really hard to always be the neutral guys, and frequently have internal conflict when one of their ranks begins to get the wrong idea and starts trying to do actual good. Yoda sounds very wise, but his position is one of maintaining balance (AKA the status quo), not progress. He later, in Rebels, comes to realize that 900 years of "both sides"-ism was the downfall of the Jedi order. In fact, he calls it hubris.
