I assume you&#x27;re talking about these paragraphs:<p>&gt; <i>Leo Perrero, an IT worker at Disney who was laid off after training his foreign replacement, says non-disparagement agreements hinder the debate over the H-1B visa. Without such agreements, &quot;you would have a lot more people speaking out - real human beings with real stories, not just anonymous persons speaking out,&quot; said Perrero.</i><p>&gt; <i>&quot;Their freedom of speech is being taken away from them with the non-disparagement agreements,&quot; he said.</i><p>Stating a fact is probably not disparaging. (Not a lawyer; I dunno.) But that&#x27;s not a debate, either. If you want to debate about it, you basically have to say that this act hurt you, which may count as disparaging or discrediting your former employer.
