The CEO's response was to sack the author. That seems quite sane to me.

That argument isn't an ethical one. It would require us to justify sacking ppl for saying women should get equal pay if CEO disagreed.
-
An explicitly anti-woman pay policy is illegal, no? But you could fairly be sacked if advocating women priests in a Catholic newspaper.
-
Yes. Then we'd be very critical of Catholicism for its stance on women. Just as we're very critical of Google for its stance on biology.
-
Fine, but a Catholic editor can fairly sack such a journalist. Google's "stance on biology" is endorsed by the CEO.
-
The argument isn't about whether companies are allowed to discriminate against ideas they don't like. Its whether this is a good thing.

He wasn't sacked until it became a public issue that had big potential for showing Google in a bad light - costing them credibility/money
-
Not sure what that's relevant to.
