I didn't find any of those tweets unprofessional. I found them to be a genuinely interesting perspective on social issues that I am interested in. I am not sure how that's unprofessional of her. If you think its "leftist nonsense", then that's just your opinion. She is entitled to tweet whatever she wants to from her personal twitter account. Do you think its reasonable for her to follow your idea of how a Director of Engineering should tweet?

>I didn't find any of those tweets unprofessional. "There was a lot of work done to brainwash African people to believe that the white man had the monopoly on truth & that he was favored by God. We need to understand the way Christianity has been used to dominate African people, land and resources." Spouting that nonsense is absolutely unprofessional, and ahistorical. >I found them to be a genuinely interesting perspective on social issues that I am interested in. That speaks more about you than anything. >I am not sure how that's unprofessional of her. I just highlighted how. Making crazy claims about a religion is accepted in no professional environment I've ever been in, and I've worked in SV for a long time. >She is entitled to tweet whatever she wants to from her personal twitter account. No one said otherwise, you're strawman-ing really hard now. You specifically asked for things that "she [said] that made her come off that way to you?" I provided examples. The fact that they came from her personal Twitter account is immaterial. She links her Twitter account on her LinkedIn, web page, etc., so, it's not specifically a personal account. >Do you think its reasonable for her to follow your idea of how a Director of Engineering should tweet? It's not my idea, it's generally accepted that spouting racist, anti-Christian rhetoric on Twitter is unbecoming of any leader. And those tweets were just from September...

It could be illegal and/or open a company to lawsuits since it's specifically targeting protected classes. And those tweets listed above are just from September... EDIT: Why is this being immediately flagged and dead-ed? What in this comment is triggering this?

To put it in perspective, the content of one of her tweets is so unprofessional, that copying and pasting it here on HN is causing the comment to be auto-flagged and killed. Thats how unprofessional it is.
