A lot of these "keep all politics out of work" stances feel inherently reactionary and could passively ossify some pretty gnarly social issues.

I've been in software for 30 years, I can't imagine management attempting to formalize how racist & sexist it was back when I started. Pretending it's fixed now so we can all just move on is a pretty big yikes from me.

Sorry that it makes people uncomfortable or could get in the way of profits but even though I don't enjoy it either, thats what progress has to feel like.
