It's a social skill to learn when it's appropriate to talk about politics, and when it isn't. Many people lack this skill.
Of course, we all know that it's safe for some political persuasions to speak out, but not others. I suppose the people advocating for this are - literally - Politically Correct.

I agree, politics at the workplace is inappropriate, except concerning issues of importance to that company or industry, e.g. Exxon being critical of drilling restrictions or Google evincing opinions about the continued legality of enumerating people's home wifi access points.

The same people who talk about the intrinsic value of every individual want to read out of polite society anyone who does not occupy the same spot on the political spectrum they do.
