Only as it stands now, (can't yell fire in a crowded movie theater). Unfortunately many are working around the constitution and limiting free speech as some are losing their jobs for their political beliefs etc.

@curiosi Free speech only applies when the government is trying to infringe upon it.

Employers are governed by several laws in regards to terminating employees. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, most employers are prohibited from terminating someone because of their race, gender, national origin, disability, religion, genetic information or age (if the employee is 40 or more years old).

From my very first professional job the company manual banned talking politics inside the office. This is a private company that can enact any rules they wish. I talk politics often but technically could be fired for doing so as I signed an agreement to abide by their rules of conduct just as everyone else has.
