It's a two-sided coin. I don't want anyone to tell me what my values "should" be, but if I found myself in a job where I couldn't reconcile my values with the task I was being paid to perform, or if I didn't want to serve "certain people," I'd leave, or I'd expectr to have my ass fired.

This woman should not be made a hero for her actions. And sadly, that's exactly what's happening. All of my conservative friends have already made her a poster child.
