Reuters data scientist fired after writing paper critical of Critical Race Theory

A Reuters data scientist was fired after writing a paper critical of Black Lives Matter
John Sexton, May 12, 2022

Zac Kriegman is a former Director of Data Science for Reuters who was fired after he challenged some of the assumptions behind the claims made by Black Lives Matter proponents.
Bari Weiss published Kriegman's first hand account of how he changed his mind about BLM and what happened when he brought those concerns to his co-workers in the form of a 12,000 word argument posted on an internal discussion board.

In 2020, I started to witness the spread of a new ideology inside the company. On our internal collaboration platform, the Hub, people would post about “the self-indulgent tears of white women” and the danger of “White Privilege glasses.” They’d share articles with titles like “Seeing White,” “Habits of Whiteness” and “How to Be a Better White Person.” There was fervent and vocal support for Black Lives Matter at every level of the company. No one challenged the racial essentialism or the groupthink.​

This concerned me. I had been following the academic research for years, and I had come to the conclusion that the claim upon which the whole movement rested--that police more readily shoot black people--was false.

So you can share anything that supports a belief, even if it is wrong, but if you dare support anything that seems to contradict that belief, your comments will be deleted, and you as a reporter for a news media company could even be fired.

What type of debate environment is this going to create, when one side can propound its beliefs, facing no criticism from the other side, while the other side is suppressed with fear into silence?

This is not fair and open debate, neither is this likely to lead to rationality and logic.
Without dialogue between two sides, developing views are less likely to be tempered.
