  As I understand certain jobs require the employee to sign off on a morality clause.
  
  However, if you appear naked in a theatrical production does that warrant losing your job?

  Aren't morality clauses subjective, and therefore you could argue your way out of being a naked actor?
  
  I never signed a morality clause.

  Don't you need to have morals before you sign them away??

  How is nudity immoral?
  
  You're constitutionally entitled to freedom of speech and expression provided it's not proven to be obscene

  According to a recent newspaper article, a disciplinary board that governs our state law enforcement officers recently ruled on this.
  
  They decided that having shirtless pics on "myspace" pages was immoral, and several officers were fired for that. However, being convicted of a number of crimes, including fraud, poaching, and assault, was A-OK, and those guys were returned to duty.
  
  I feel SO much safer, knowing how moral our cops are.
  
  In the case of a private employer, it probably means whatever they want it to mean.

  If you have an immorality clause in any sort of contract
  don't give them any ammunition to go after you
  
  The dick shots on Manhunt
  I don't think are up for debate

  Um, sort of. The only thing the Constitution entitles you to is freedom of speech and expression in the public sphere. The government cannot curtail your rights, but an employer can enforce certain standards if he chooses to, as long as he does so without respect to race, sex, religion, etc. And sexual orientation in most places does not make the list.
