> my speech is protected by the law - both from the state and my employer (a university).

Can you elaborate what it means that your speech is protected by your employer? Because that seems like something that doesn't happen here in the US - you can lose work over disagreeing with political ideologies, especially at universities.

If I made public speech and I was terminated over that (or even if it could be proven that it possibly had an influence) that termination would be unlawful.

Admittedly, it's been a while since I was enrolled in a college. Are there examples of this happening? Are people losing their jobs because they e.g. go to church or advocate for fewer ecological regulations or believe in lower taxes or the like?
