What the Hell do they mean "reignite"? The damn thing never died down.

The suit will likely reignite the culture wars that have swirled around the tech industry since the election of Donald Trump.

So why exactly has the political camp that decried diversity for the sake of diversity suddenly taken up the cause of "intellectual diversity" for the sake of diversity?

The same people who used to be critical of the value of injecting diversity into spaces now seem to have latched onto the notion that their ideology now must be included simply for the fact that their ideology exists. I don't get it. It's even *easier* to be critical of the value of ideological diversity. A flat-earther doesn't add anything of value to an astrophysics conference. An anti-vaxxer doesn't add anything of value to a medical conference.

It's either stupidity or intellectual dishonest with one's self.

Censorship has struck this site also along with what's left of net neutrality. But lucky for us, dissidents can't be silenced without shutting down the internet.

Whatever happened to "don't bring your politics to work"?

This is the reason why Trump got elected. Has nothing to do with race.

Most people still do subscribe to that belief. However it's difficult to do when the employer of all things is the one bringing it in.

Most people can get on with their day to day lives without getting involved with politics. Hell, even with the absolute awful state of game journalism, I can enjoy video games without politics getting involved. Things that aren't normally political only get political if you want them too, and unlike SOME individuals, most people don't want politics consuming their life.

I wake up, shower and and get ready for the day, have breakfast, drive to work, do work, occasionally have fun with coworkers, come home, cook dinner, feed the cats, go to bed.

Wow so political.

Yes politics technically involves every aspect of life where a government exists but I’m not sure if you guys are intentionally missing Ian’s point that particular political beliefs and agendas don’t belong in the workplace.
