From The Verge:
Google didn't violate labor laws by firing engineer James Damore for a memo criticizing the company's diversity program, according to a recently disclosed letter from the US National Labor Relations Board. The lightly redacted statement is written by Jayme Sophir, associate general counsel of the NLRB's division of advice; it dates to January, but was released yesterday, according to Law.com. Sophir concludes that while some parts of Damore's memo were legally protected by workplace regulations, "the statements regarding biological differences between the sexes were so harmful, discriminatory, and disruptive as to be unprotected."
Damore filed an NLRB complaint in August of 2017, after being fired for internally circulating a memo opposing Google's diversity efforts. Sophir recommends dismissing the case; Bloomberg reports that Damore withdrew it in January, and that his lawyer says he's focusing on a separate lawsuit alleging discrimination against conservative white men at Google. NLRB records state that its case was closed on January 19th.
There are White House Staff positions open, I hear.

You did exactly what James Damore did. Pointed out biologically lighted tendencies. You also lied. You either did not read his epistle or you read the abbreviated one in which the references were removed. All the references checked out and the people who were referenced very largely agreed. SO your entire line of posting is meaningless and indeed, counterproductive as it is contrary to fact.

If there is a version in which references are provided, I would love to see it. Cause the only versions I have seen had nothing of the sort.
