    Look, if this hypothetical person can control their Conservative urges enough to read modern science pertaining to their job and then act on it, and NOT act on their own beliefs, then i suppose, in a hypothetical modern, very accepting world in which this ignorance doesn’t fester into fascism and in which all grievances are addressed fairly and fully, i suppose you might have some vague philosophical point and it wouldn’t be irresponsible.

    It seems incredibly naive to assume that no professionals personal views conflict with work place stances.

      I’m sure it can and does. And theres ways of dealing with people acting on those such as dismissal. However, simply expressing those views is not a reason to fire someone. I do agree that’s it’s probably difficult for some to keep their personal views and professional ones separate, but that’s their responsibility to.

        I appreciate you retreating to a more defensible mott. Swaying public opinion on a matter as a professional in a relevant field is allowing personal views through a professional mask, so we can agree that was an issue regardless.
