> Part of building an open, inclusive environment means fostering a culture in which those with alternative views, including different political views, feel safe sharing their opinions. But that discourse needs to work alongside the principles of equal employment found in our Code of Conduct, policies, and anti-discrimination laws. That jumped out at me as the one sentence that most strongly supports your claim of ideological puritanism.

In practice what this says is: we want you to feel safe to express your alternative views, so we know who to fire. Which is perfectly rational from a company's perspective, and we should all know this by now: choose your battles. 1.

The rapidly changing body would acquire dysfunctional and deformative symptoms and could not properly mature on a diet of apple sauce and crushed pears. - Saul Williams in Coded Language.
