CEO @LambdaSchool (YC S17): A CS education that's free until you get a job. I have made remarks that I do not agree with.

So what, do we entertain the perspectives of the Daily Stormer and James Damore? Educate me, bro.
Nope. Lots of opinions that aren’t Damore or white nationalist are being suppressed. Even liberal but not the right kind of liberal opinions.
Most of Silicon Valley disagreed, when Thiel said women should never have gotten the right to vote. We gave this abjectly intolerant suggestion exactly as much time and consideration as it deserved. Is this really a bad thing?
Nope, that’s not a bad thing either
We all listened to Thiel for a moment there, even though the things he was saying were pretty out-there. Then we said nah. So with that in mind, where do you see suppression of normal, non-nuts perspectives?
Read that whole thread. All the time.
Good thread, Anil was right. If these are the highly articulate YC founders you claim, then they should have no trouble looking at H1B data and coming up with a persuasive point or two against the program. Maybe they just don’t like to be disagreed with.
That’s exactly the point though. If you go against the status quo your career can be in danger. I saw very explicit, undeniable examples of that. Perhaps it’s like sexual harassment - just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
