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.[1]
