Google has long had a policy of 'bringing your whole self to work.' The company actively encourages (or at least, encouraged) its employees to be political, and to be 'true to themselves' in the workplace.

They are encouraged to express their political opinions as long as they choose wisely what are their opinions.

  They are encouraged to express their political opinions as long as they are not republican views. I think that more accurately sums it up.

    Where the call for "diversity" is twisted to mean that more overtly bigoted persons and statements should be brought in and entertained? The call that claims "diversity" should include movements towards less diversity?

      - The call that claims "diversity" should include movements towards less diversity? Of course it should. It's the diversity of opinions. Otherwise you're calling for an exterior diversity (I'm black, you're Asian, she's transgender) but a complete uniformity of opinions and worldviews.

        Then I imagine they are quite happy since their desire for less diversity would be met by (the imagined policy) excluding those who want less diversity. Unless of course the objection is not to diversity per-se but some particular groups. If the anti-diversity crowd are under represented in tech, it's probably for they same reason the highest productivity areas are the most liberal in their countries and formed mostly from those that left other areas.

      Of course people should be able to advocate against diversity, especially when diversity is creating so much avoidable strife.

        Sure, but not in a work place. That is not the appropriate place to denounce other workers as "inanely inferior". Even so, there are plenty of workplaces that practice anti-diversity, pro-discriminatory behavior. I believe even US govt contractors are allowed to discriminate on sexual orientation now. So there are plenty of workplaces for those uncomfortable in tolerant environments and preferring a more bigoted work place. But apparently that is insufficient: apparently they want _no_ work place to be diverse. And indeed, whatever strife there is will end the instant those who resent equality overcome their internal angst.
