I think a key phrase here is "he was dismissed for publicly challenging a colleague’s silence".

In other words, he publicly harassed a colleague who (for what could be any number of perfectly valid reasons) preferred not to publicly state their beliefs. That would seem to me to be an eminently reasonable reason to fire someone. If you go around publicly harassing your colleagues to publicly state their political opinions, you deserve to be fired.

Yeah this is a strange and pretty misleading headline. Here’s the primary source tweet: https://twitter.com/aweary/status/1271522288752455680?s=21

The first few replies are even more telling. When someone tells him that calling out a coworker is in bad taste, you get this gem

>oh no Arthur thinks I'm rude, how will I recover

I love that in, another Tweet, someone is giving Arthur shit for... not having his pronouns in his bio.

ETA: apparently the user giving Arthur shit is just trolling
