In what manner?So a friend of mine seems to think that being shunned and ridiculed for his bigoted opinions is a violation of his freedom of speech?
It depends on the above questions.So my question is, do you think this is the case?
Freedom of association should be considered the same thing.And does freedom of speech trump freedom of association?

On a personal basis?
Or is it in relation to someone speaking at an event?

The Government in relation to it's citizens should not be able to choose who it associates with, but individuals should be able to choose.

No. Not at all. If his freedom of speech was being violated, they wouldn't be allowing him to speak at all, right? You don't have a right to not be criticised.So a friend of mine seems to think that being shunned and ridiculed for his bigoted opinions is a violation of his freedom of speech?

So an individual at the dmv should be able to choose not to have to associate with certain people who work at the dmv, to have their tests given and paperwork done by only certain types of people?

Really?So an individual at the dmv should be able to choose not to have to associate with certain people who work at the dmv, to have their tests given and paperwork done by only certain types of people?
Presuming it is as you state, then no, his right to free speech is not being violated.So a friend of mine seems to think that being shunned and ridiculed for his bigoted opinions is a violation of his freedom of speech?

Really?
You do not understand that usually a worker of the Government represents the Government and not their self?
Wow!
So an individual at the dmv should be able to choose not to have to associate with certain people who work at the dmv, to have their tests given and paperwork done by only certain types of people?
Do you not understand the point? A member of the public could still view that person as whatever they don't wish to associate with. So are there limits? Just because someone represents the government doesn't mean the public becomes blind to their characteristics, no matter how much we would like.
I think we're confusing the scenario. The government employee at the DMV can't say "NO BLACKS ALLOWED," because they're being paid to represent the government and the government is legally prohibited from doing things like that. But some random member of the public can say "I wont have my paperwork done by a filthy redhead!" They're a private individual with the right to turn around and walk out the door.
To which the DMV, I'm sure, would respond "OK see ya."
At least, I hope that's what the position in question is. Other way around doesn't make any sense.
But that citizen can't demand the government provide him or her with someone else who they do approve of. That is the point. That person can wait or go to a different office, but that is their options.
Yes, those people are free to get their DMV business done over the phone or by mail.
