You really think you can catch AIDs from a toilet seat.
And yes, employers CAN expect you to work in circumstances that violate and offend your stupid ass (I used to be an HR director--I know this shit). There are laws that can't be crossed but no laws against having an asshole for a boss. They have to violate specific harassment/discrimination/hostile working environment labor laws.
Depending on the employment contract, "freedom of speech" doesn't apply. If it did, Apple employees would be able to freely give up technical secrets to competitors without consequence.
Employment contracts were always difficult to enforce (because the courts tend to frown on employer's limiting the ability of their former employees to get gainful employment) but they have some validity/weight.
Bottom line, check the employee handbook and any contracts that you've signed.
