I disagree. There are a variety of reasons to prohibit political speech in the workplace even if one desires to change the status quo:
* A company might find that it's employees become toxic when political disagreements happen.
* A company might find itself alienating people with minority viewpoints.
* A company may find itself losing customers because political views discussed in the workplace is attributed to the company.
This mentality that lack of political discussion in the workplace implies agreement with the status quo has negative consequences, and makes employees feel pressured to voice support for things they don't actually support in order to avoid losing face with coworkers.
