Thus, for example, had the plaintiff in this case engaged in expressive activity on public property, such as participating in apeaceful demonstration on a town green against the war with Iraq, or had he refused to comply with a governmental demand that he display the American flag, whether on public or his own private property; see, e.g., Wooley v. Maynard, 430 U.S. 705, 717, 97 S. Ct. 1428, 51 L. Ed. 2d 752 (1977) (New Hampshire constitutionally may not enforce criminal sanctions against persons for refusal to display state motto “ ‘Live Free or Die’ ” upon vehicle license plates); his employer could not, consistent with § 31-51q, have disciplined or discharged him based on that activity, because he would have been exercising rights guaranteed to him by the first amendment and article first.
