Employers, take warning!

Ex-CEO's lawsuit against the comedian/activist will proceed.

A boss who grabs an employee's breasts without her consent is indeed guilty of sexual harassment.

I assume everyone has heard by now about Gretchen Carlson's sexual harassment lawsuit against Roger Ailes, head of Fox News.

I read the lawsuit yesterday, and some of the things that Mr. Ailes allegedly said struck me as . . . taken out of context. He has forcefully denied the allegations.

And I think the Court's legal analysis was 100 percent correct.

Sorry, employers, but the Fourth Circuit nailed it.
