A recent event at Cisco Systems appears to be a very good example of how tolerance rules are being abused, ironically being used to exclude some opinions and promote others. You can read about the event here. It would appear that the tolerance movement has been used to promote a certain worldview and value system.
Tolerance has turned out to be rather intolerant.
The supporters of “tolerance” invariably turn out to be intolerant of something.
I wrote about a similarly hypocritical but far less egregious incident: http://thenullspace.wordpress.com/2011/05/17/on-tolerance/
Any update on this story? Have any other news sources picked up on it? Did Cisco respond?
