Mozilla, World Vision & The Culture Wars | National Catholic Reporter

Mozilla, World Vision & The Culture Wars | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: These are interesting cases and they illustrate exactly how much public relations and propoganda has come to rule modern society.  The CEO is the symbol of the company, so firing him for unpopular positions is understandable, depending on who your clients are.  Mozilla is assumed to have a more socially liberal base - although it is still a strange call.  World Vision's call is simply regrettable and it is why the Employment Non-Distrimination Act is needed as soon as we can get it done - providing impetus to throw the GOP out of control of the House in November.  Sexual orientation is a demographic characteristic, not a choice, and should be protected in employment law.  CEOs should not be so well paid or so much a symbol that anyone cares what they think - but that is another conversation.
