The Velvet Mafia strikes again. Tolerance and acceptance demanded for us, but not for thee.

On Thursday, Google canceled its AI ethics board after 2,476 employees signed a petition urging the company to remove Heritage Foundation President Kay Coles James for opposing transgender activism. An anonymous Google employee told PJ Media the corporate culture resembles the stifling of debate on college campuses, and warned that Google's caving to pressure on this issue will only embolden activists.

"Google employees effectively can exercise a heckler's veto over these sorts of decisions," the anonymous employee said. "The environment is exactly like a college campus. If you dissent from the liberal orthodoxy, people will accuse you of invalidating their existence, claiming that's a form of violence."

"James' inclusion on the council is either horribly negligent or outright malicious," one employee said.

Another employee suggested that while the Heritage Foundation could provide a valuable viewpoint on many issues, "their perspective on LGBTQ peoples is one of intolerance. Having that in the discussion is not representative of tolerance, but in fact antithetical to it."

Some employees defended James's addition to the board in the name of including diverse perspectives. Even this suggestion was demonized.
