Christ... having read that it's an even worse state that he got fired over it, honestly people with half a brain who could read the memo would see that by firing the guy over his "hate" that they are basically proving him to be right 100%

His memo is very well written and all it seems to ask is honest and open discussion on the matter, down to the first objective of it being

My concrete suggestions are to:

●

De-moralize diversity.

○

As soon as we start to

​

moralize an issue

​

, we stop thinking about it in terms of

costs and benefits, dismiss anyone that disagrees as immoral, and harshly

punish those we see as villains to protect the “victims.”

 

Then he gets fired for this, it proves that this reaction to him was based on nothing more than a lack of reading the most basic outline of what he asked for, this would be like putting someone to death for them suggesting starting a discussion about if the death penalty is a good idea or not, really just turns him into a martyr
