    I know you probably did not write the headline – but the correct possessive pronoun is “Your.” “You’re” is a conjunction of “You” and “are” and makes no sense in the sentence. So you could have “You’re terminated,” but it would have to read “Your First Amendment Rights are terminated.” As a teacher, I am always working with students to correct this (and there, their, they’re)…..

    What “1st Amendment Rights?”

    All we have is “tolerated behavior,” subject to revocation at any time for any or no reason.
