My issue with this is that it is completely political. The National Review isn't against what happened to Eich because of "conformity," but because they happen to agree with his political views.

Want proof? In 2011, a Notre Dame Board of Trustees member was pressured to resign because of her donations to a pro-choice group. Not only did the National Review not have a problem with her resignation, they published a feature criticizubg Notre Dame at length[1] for appointing her to begin with and in general not upholding pro-life only Catholic values.

So you'll forgive me if I think this article is bullshit and its arguments completely specious.

I await your downvotes.
