James Damore was fired for citing scientific articles, for example.

You can also watch the swedish documentary Hjernevask which shows what happens when science goes against the PC system, it's fascinating.

Norwegian documentary, actually.

(The links in the Wikipedia article go to videos with a bit higher quality than the Youtube playlist.)

Damore was fired for what he said, not what he cited while saying it (I'm not saying it was justified). Misrepresenting events as a rhetorical tactic is essentially propaganda - it will never do anything but hurt both sides of the argument.

But what he said we're citations. Nobody is misrepresenting anything.
