Fermilab straight up saying that they will "just follow orders" in their all-hands meeting. "We do not litigate what is right and wrong." Direct quote.

wow. I had a bit of a temperature read on what's going on there, but it was way off compared to this. How disheartening, makes it a shell of what it once was.
"We don't get in the business of litigating what's right or wrong, we get in the business of executing what we're instructed to do." The Nuremberg defense coming directly from the COO of Fermilab.
And if you’re instructed to turn off all your magnetic containment or whatever, I guess you’ll just have to do that too. No way to tell whether that’s “right or wrong”.
Also FYI - Fermilab has already dropped gender identity and sexual orientation from their equal opportunity employer statement on the application for the Wilson fellowship, Fermilab's highly competitive early career fellowship program.
