If you were on a hiring committee, and your otherwise-qualified-candidate had a political opinion you objected to in this way, perhaps with a similar donation, would you refuse to hire them?
- amrocha 10mo agoIf you were about to hire a candidate and then found out that they donate regularly to the “Arrest kbelder and deport them to El Salvador” fund, would you hire them?
- kbelder 10mo agoIs that a no?
- amrocha 10mo agoIt’s easy to claim neutrality when it’s other people being oppressed
- kbelder 10mo agoOk. I actually think you ought to be able to refuse to hire somebody you disagree with like that. I think you would be very wrong in doing so, though.
- amrocha 10mo agoWould it be wrong to refuse to hire a neonazi? What kind of people do you think your organization will attract if you start hiring neonazis?
- madeofpalk 10mo agoDepends what you mean by “political opinion”. If it’s about government fiscal policy, probably not. If it’s more along the lines of discriminating against or undermining people’s rights, then yeah I would refuse to hire them.
- account42 10mo agoPerhaps we need stronger laws against discrimination then.
