A "business decision," they called it. Apparently it would have been inappropriate for them to admit to making a moral decision?"
Potentially, yeah. This is related to the argument we had a while back re: corporations. There's a school of thought saying that it violates fiduciary duty for a corporation to make a moral decision, because it decreases shareholder value. This school of thought is IMHO dumb and wrong, but I am not a corporate lawyer.
