> The board has given me detailed instructions in how I should talk about Code Club sponsors. For instance, if someone asks me about x's involvement in corporate mass surveillance where x is a Code Club sponsor (eg Google), I should answer: "I do not want to get into the specifics of any particular corporation. Nonetheless, it’s worth restating that the Code Club board believe X are a tremendous partner. As a member of the board I am completely aligned with that view."

I fail to see how she would be "lying" here, in any capacity.

She may know more but refrained from stating it? As the Director, you are supposed to make a statement like this and not harm your sponsors. For her to speak out against them would be counter productive to her organization's goals.

Seems to me she just has some moral issues with some companies in particular and therefore was not comfortable working in any capacity with them. So, it was an appropriate choice to resign imho.
