I realize this was probably brought up in the discussions about the scipy code of conduct which I have not looked at, but I’m troubled by the inclusion of “political beliefs” in the document.

It was not brought up explicitly as far as I remember. 


See e.g. 

That's about moving names around. I don't see any mention of political beliefs?

Sorry about that, I elided the 6. This is the correct link:


Thanks, that's useful context for your question.

I'm personally not too attached to "political belief", but I think the discussion in that PR and in the OSCON context is very US-centric and reflective of the polarized atmosphere there.

If everyone is fine with removing political beliefs then I'm fine with that, but I don't think that the argument itself (from a non-US perspective) has much merit.

I'm strongly opposed to removing it. The last thing I want is to have politics brought into NumPy development, which is where this discussion is already headed. It could get ugly fast.
