Removal of "Social issues" section

I propose removing the "Social issues" section entirely due to it reading as whitewashing John B. Castleman as a figure. See Wikipedia:NPOV and Wikipedia:NPOV means neutral editing, not neutral content when it comes to portraying non-neutral or biased content. Obversa (talk) 15:33, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
