Google is struggling to discuss the recent diversity memo controversy internally:
Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, canceled a scheduled all-hands staff meeting—moments before it was scheduled to begin—meant to address concerns over a controversial essay published by former employee James Damore.
In an email to staff, Pichai explained that questions from employees had been leaked and that, in some cases, specific employees' identities were revealed, exposing them to harassment and threats. Instead of today's large-scale meeting, which was to be livestreamed to Google's 60,000 employees worldwide, smaller groups will meet sometime in the future.
"We had hoped to have a frank open discussion today as we always do to bring us together and move forward. But our Dory questions appeared externally this afternoon, and on some websites Googlers are now being named personally," Pichai said in the email.

My whole grade school life was highly conservative. In fact the only part that wasn't was my parents, and the occasional openly liberal household/kids I went to school with (but you didn't discuss that at school, even if they did.)
People also tend to forget all the anti-Russian/Communist propaganda from 50s-80s grade school, and our indoctrination against having our papers checked travelling inside our own country, and yet what happens today? Mandatory checks to fly on an airplane, random checks to travel by train, or bus, or boat, without ever hitting a border. TSA/VIPR is America's Communist paper checkers, and yet the largest push for that apparatus came from CONSERVATIVES (with a healthy dose of bipartisan authoritarianism), the very same ones who just a few decades before were reviling that exact sort of activity and pushing that agenda in schools.
Oh America, your hypocrisy runs deep.

Oh shut the fuck up, fag. All those checks are in place because we keep getting attacked by the Islamic terrorists that Liberals love to import here by the millions.

Love to import because you love to take their . . . Oh crap, AC, everyone knows you are an Islamic refugee, filled with self-hatred and desire for forbbiden sex. Yes, in your country the used to say, "For children, a woman; for pleasure, a young boy; but for sheer ecstacy, a Melon!" But now, melons are in short supply. It is the closeted gays in the Republican party who are importing the poftas from the areas of combat. All those soldiers, stationed in areas where the "Peshawar School of Thought" prevails, and you do not think they would not want to bring their "translator" back with them? Oh American, the home of the Free and the Gay!
