I guess what matters most is whether or not it's "ok" with you, or whoever you may be referring to. There's no single answer that applies to all situations, to all founders, to all employees. If it's not okay with you, then use your available options to determine how to act. I think it was tptacek yesterday that suggested the idea that more important than founders speaking out with their beliefs, the workers should band together and make their voices known - in agreement, or in dissent, or in whatever they believe in the absence of founders taking a stand. If it's going to negatively effect you personally, then evaluate it the same way as you would any other negative work situation - a bad manager, harrassment, or similar. I just do not think you will find an answer by means of surveying people in different, or even similar, situations. People choose to stay with an employer for personal reasons, and leave employers for personal reasons. This is no different.
