"Surely the principle of [asking someone to step down for supporting & funding racist rhetoric] is not that controversial."

You began this conversation by advocating firing people. I'm trying to narrow down which people you meant by that.
-
I'm not advocating firing. "Just cause" requires documented misbehavior + progressive discipline.
-
Never mind the details of US employment law. I'm asking what you would do if you could.
-
Easy. I'd go to Korean BBQ or juice bar for long chat. Are we still a good fit re: values, vision, diversity, demographics of SV/US?
-
And if the employee refused?
-
For a partner, I'd try $$$$$$$$$ cash severance + would add diverse staff & board members to counteract the harmful perspective.
-
So any manager who openly supports Trump but doesn't want to talk to you about their political beliefs is offered severance?
-
You started this by saying something was uncontroversial. But now we know what the something is, that's pretty controversial.

fwiw, it's possible to know that someone has gone way over a line without knowing precisely where the line is
-
eg if I'm driving from SF to Santa Barbara and end up in LA, I don't need to know where I've gone wrong to know I'm wrong
-
It's entirely reasonable to say "PT crossed a line, I can't say exactly what or where it is, just that he's way over it"
-
Given how deeply shocking the GOPs decent into madness has been, you wouldn't be the only one trying to figure this out
-
The Civil War aside, what we're seeing now has no precedent. It's fine for people to be confused about the finer points
-
…indeed, it's going to take some time to sort through the arson's embers and work out how building codes should change
