Now, it seems exercising one's First Amendment rights has become a punishable offense in the eyes of FDNY Chief John Hodgens. He's set his sights on those firefighters who dared to voice their opposition to James. Hodgens labeled the whole incident as an "embarrassment" and has decided that those involved in the booing must undergo what he calls "re-education."
What exactly this re-education program entails remains a mystery, but one can't help but conjure images of some kind of far-left ideological boot camp.

From The Politics Brief:
“After NY Firefighters exercised their 1st Amdt right to protest corrupt city leaders, a letter was sent saying anyone who booed Letitia James will be sent to HQ for re-‘education’,” Rogan O’Handley, known on X as D.C. Draino, reported while providing the letter.
“NYC has become a Marxist hellhole where politics are prosecuted & anyone objecting gets in trouble,” he added.
“NYC is run by communists. This is bullsh*t,” popular conservative commentator Catturd reacted on X.
It states among other things, it lays out the “next steps.”
