It’s not an unbiased removal — the text of the memo specifically targets the screechiest voices. If you want to put BlackLivesMatter in your Slack status I think you’ll find few complaints but if you present a list of demands starting with “The Company must take a public position in support of reparations” then they’re saying you will be shown the door.

It depends how you interpret it. Someone gets to decide what a "positive workplace" is, and exactly what "casting doubt" and "nonconstructive" mean, and then they are free to be intolerant of those who go against them.

  Well of course, companies aren't democracies. The CEO/board or whoever is in charge has all the power.

    It might surprise you to know that in some civilized parts of the world, even employees have rights.

      Rights != deciding what's a positive environment at work. You're conflating two different things.

        "deciding what's a positive environment at work" != "whoever is in charge has all the power". You're the conflating one.

        I get where you are coming from but arguing with me won't change the facts we're witnessing out there in the world.

  Yeah, the point of leadership is to make decisions. Seems like a win-win for people who can't tolerate each other to separate.
