The directive is found in a memo, first reported by Variety, titled “Netflix Culture – Seeking Excellence.”

“As employees we support the principle that Netflix offers a diversity of stories, even if we find some titles counter to our own personal values,” the memo states.

“Depending on your role, you may need to work on titles you perceive to be harmful,” the memo continued. “If you’d find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you….”

The streaming service also canned another Kendi project, “Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You,” which was intended to be a “companion piece” to Kendi’s “Stamped From the Beginning.” The latter, according to Variety, is in post-production and is described as “a hybrid documentary and scripted feature that delves into race in the United States.”

Despite a drop-off in revenue growth that cost 150 primarily U.S.-based employees their jobs this past week, sources at Netflix told Variety that the decision to cancel those projects was not financially motivated. “The decisions not to move forward with these projects were creative rather than cost related, meaning they would have taken place regardless of the company’s slower revenue growth,” Variety reported….

In addition, Netflix recently announced it was canceling a planned feminist animated series from actress-turned-exiled-royal Meghan Markle….
