James Damore is an engineer who was fired by Google for disagreeing with the corporation's official viewpoint on gender and diversity in the workplace. A university professor backed up Damore, pointing out:
- Neither the left nor the right gets diversity completely right
- The social science evidence on implicit and explicit bias has been wildly oversold and is far weaker than most people seem to realize
- Google has, perhaps unintentionally, created an authoritarian atmosphere that has stifled discussion of these issues by stigmatizing anyone who disagrees as a bigot and instituted authoritarian policies of reverse discrimination
- The policies and atmosphere systematically ignore biological, cognitive, educational, and social science research on the nature and sources of individual and group differences. Fired Google Engineer James Damore Holds “Fired for Truth” Protest Sign Outside Google HQ
