They absolutely should feel emboldened because they have effectively silenced anyone with a dissenting viewpoint or else they risk getting fired or labeled a nazi. Really nice work by them. On to the next one, i'll bet.

by the way - I don't think the founders would view Lee as a traitor... I could be wrong, of course
