This is not a victory. In the area where I live containers constantly fall into the ocean because shipping companies stack them too high.

The only thing this achieves is even more garbage in the ocean.

All these outlets say the books are "offensive" but they don't say why. Has anyone actually looked at these books? I have. Nothing in there is even remotely offensive. It would help to explain what is offensive, so we don't just take their word for it.

I'm all for nuclear power too, as long as it's nowhere near me.

That any race matters more than any other race. If someone put "X Lives Matter" on a t-shirt, where X is any other race, they would be attacked, or at least fired from their job.

Similarly, you can go to work wearing a blue Biden hat, and nothing would happen. However, if you went to work wearing a red Trump hat, it might be your last day at work.

In a democratic society, this doesn't make sense.

Why is it a fact? I'm independent, so I usually let the other two sides battle it out among themselves, while I stand by and am usually quite impressed by the sophisticated and clever arguments going both ways. I have yet to be swayed either way. Still, it's interesting!

In a way it's an optimization. My hope is that one day, when the two sides have finally come to a conclusion as to which one is right, I can join that one, and save myself a lot of trouble in the meantime ;)

That's what liberals say. Conservatives will say the opposite. Hence you need both or neither, or someone will be unhappy.

They do not have an obligation. However, employees will feel it is unfair if their side is not heard as much as the other side.

Agreed. I think there are only two options for a company:

1) don't allow any activism in the company

2) allow ALL types of activism in the company

Right now, it seems most companies only allow liberal activism but not conservative activism. This is a recipe for problems because it's arbitrary and not democratic.
