From Human Events Today:
"For the crime of holding the same position on gay marriage as Barack Obama did at the time – a position he hasn’t even discussed much, and has never attempted to impose upon Mozilla in any way – Eich got to meet with Mister Mayhem. He resigned from both his corporate CEO post and the board of the Mozilla nonprofit organization on Thursday, after the sound of thundering jackboots became too loud for the company to ignore. Mozilla announced his departure in a blog post:
Mozilla prides itself on being held to a different standard and, this past week, we didn’t live up to it. We know why people are hurt and angry, and they are right: it’s because we haven’t stayed true to ourselves.
We didn’t act like you’d expect Mozilla to act. We didn’t move fast enough to engage with people once the controversy started. We’re sorry. We must do better.
Brendan Eich has chosen to step down from his role as CEO. He’s made this decision for Mozilla and our community.
Mozilla believes both in equality and freedom of speech. Equality is necessary for meaningful speech. And you need free speech to fight for equality. Figuring out how to stand for both at the same time can be hard.Read the full post on Human Events:
