Was going to say the same thing. Teachers did things on their own time and got fired for it. Companies CAN tell you that you can't do something, regardless of the legality of that "thing." I really don't understand why that's so hard to believe. You agree to follow their rules when you work for them, even if those rules cover something that is completely legal on a federal or state level and you're doing it on your personal time. Employers can ban certain activities. It's a contract you agree to when you go to work for them.
