Cisco fires workers for non-approved remarks about BLM


“Kristen Clarke, the president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said: ‘Employers should be striving for zero tolerance when it comes to racism and discrimination, period. The protests we’ve seen in the streets have become part of our new normal and will eventually make their way inside workplaces if employers fail to meet the moment.’”

(Sounds as though MS. Clarke is threatening all employers to toe the approved line, or those people burning and looting will be inside your businesses' doors.)

A headline at Bloomberg: “Cisco Fires Racist Workers.”

Why not start at the top?

“According to Cisco’s (NASDAQ: CSCO) latest diversity report, 3.8% of its overall workforce is Black, along with 2.2% of its ‘leadership and people managers.’ No board members are Black: Cisco’s report states the board is 90% white and 10% Asian.
