A group of Google employees is pushing the company to remove Heritage Foundation President Kay Coles James from its new artificial intelligence (AI) council. The workers, identified as "Googlers Against Transphobia and Hate," say James's record on trans and immigrant rights should disqualify her from serving on the newly announced council dedicated to ethics in AI.

Oh, OK. What if Americans demanded Google not be allowed to use the internet as long as they have such intolerant people working for them.
I wonder how Grace Hopper felt about gender dysphoria.
Why don't they identify them by name?
“Shunning” is the big tool of the Progressives. If your politics are deemed apostate, then you will be shunned and thrust from the community of Believers.
"No, no! We want ethics in AI, not ethnics in AI! Get her out of here or we'll turn the firehoses on her and let the dogs loose!" (/liberals)
The late Rear Admiral Grace Hopper was far too busy as a computer scientist to spend time wiping away any self induced tears of pity. She was a tough old gal. One of her nicknames was “Grandma COBOL”.
Oh yes the tolerant left in action. Make no mistake boys and girls if they had the ultimate power they would go full Khmer rouge.
Remember, this is the same company that fired an employee for simply writing a memo saying that men and women are indeed different from each other — not unequal, just different.
As for these obnoxious little punks, what gives them the write to shove around prominent people. These little snotnoses think they have it rough, they should just ask Ms. James what kind of violent crap she went through as she helped integrate a haah skrewel in Richmond, Virginia, in 1961.
Which is why I think the rest of us should adopt openly pointing, mocking and laughing when they try to shun us. Shunning will only be used because they think we give a darn what they think.
The Left is the enemy: we simply and overtly shouldn’t care what they think.
New board members are nominated by the board, but are voted on by the shareholders of the company, not the employees.

I don’t use Google anymore for causes like that.
She would make programmers wear a big necklace of copper wire around their necks.
This was so they would appreciate how long a microsecond is to a computer.
We had to watch every clock cycle and memory/storage byte.
That’s if your lucky. You could wind up like Trotsky or Mao’s widow.
They need to replace all the members that have real intelligence with those that have pretend intelligence.
In business it is valuable to have differing points of view, experience and perspective. It challenges thought, inspires creativity and helps validate a path to follow.
Today, business persons from the ‘Googlers Against Transphobia and Hate’ see the world differently. Everyone must comply with Groupthink and Newspeak. They demand fairness through unfair methods. They demand tolerance with absolutely no tolerance for opposing views. They effectively want us to live in an artificial world and pretend all is completely normal.
These people are irrational and emotionally weak.
These little whiners are always upset with something or making some lefty demands. F’um..
“Make no mistake boys and girls if they had the ultimate power they would go full Khmer rouge.”

The right to hold one's own views, and to think and to decide for oneself on any question, is an essential right for a free people. A person is free to believe anything he wishes, even if in error, and may not be persecuted nor denied the right to hold public office for those beliefs. The First Amendment protections for freedom of religion, of speech, of the press and of assembly, all together protect the Freedom of Conscience.
"That form [of self-government] which we have substituted [for that which bound men under the chains of monkish ignorance and superstition] restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion." --Thomas Jefferson to Roger C. Weightman, 1826. ME 16:182
"A right to take the side which every man's conscience approves in a civil contest is too precious a right, and too favorable to the preservation of liberty, not to be protected by all its well-informed friends." --Thomas Jefferson to Katherine Sprowle Douglas, 1785. FE 4:66, Papers 8:260
"Subject opinion to coercion: whom will you make your inquisitors? Fallible men, governed by bad passions, by private as well as public reasons. And why subject it to coercion? To produce uniformity? But is uniformity of opinion desirable? No more than of face and stature." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XVII, 1782. ME 2:223
"The freedom of opinion and the reasonable maintenance of it is not a crime and ought not to occasion injury." --Thomas Jefferson to Gideon Granger, 1801.
"The legitimate powers of government reach actions only and not opinions." --Thomas Jefferson to Danbury Baptists, 1802.
"This country, which has given to the world the example of physical liberty, owes to it that of moral emancipation also. For as yet, it is but nominal with us. The inquisition of public opinion overwhelms in practice the freedom asserted by the laws in theory." --Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1821. ME 15:308
"It is inconsistent with the spirit of our laws and Constitution to force tender consciences." --Thomas Jefferson: Proclamation Concerning Paroles, 1781. FE 2:430, Papers 4:404
"The error seems not sufficiently eradicated that the operations of the mind as well as the acts of the body are subject to the coercion of the laws. But our rulers can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them. The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit. We are answerable for them to our God. The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia
