BOYCOTT INDIANAPOLIS MUSEUM OF ART!
HTML https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-nyt-indianapolis-art-museum-job-posting-20210214-5cxeatri3fbdfaafxhhx2j4bhe-story.html
[quote]The Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields has edited
and apologized for an employment listing that said it was
seeking a director who would work not only to attract a more
diverse audience but also to maintain its “traditional, core,
white art audience.”
...
The museum subsequently revised the position’s description in
the listing, which now reads “traditional core art audience.”
[/quote]
BLM is already doing so:
[quote]Malina Jeffers and Alan Bacon, guest curators for the
museum’s upcoming “DRIP: Indy’s #BlackLivesMatter Street Mural”
exhibition, slated to open in April, said in a statement
Saturday night that they had decided they could no longer do so.
“Our exhibition cannot be produced in this context and this
environment,” Jeffers and Bacon, co-founders of GANGGANG, a
local art incubator working to elevate artists of color, said.
“We have asked Newfields to revisit this exhibition to include
an apology to all artists involved, the opportunity for the 18
visual artists to show their other, personal works with
appropriate compensation, and an intentional strategy from
Newfields to display more works from more Black artists in
perpetuity.”
“Until then,” they added, “GANGGANG will not continue as guest
curators for this exhibition.”[/quote]
And one more note:
[quote]Morgan, an independent curator and consultant in Atlanta,
said in an interview Saturday that she was disappointed that,
despite the fact that the museum had begun training leadership
in diversity, equity and inclusion, it had still included the
language.
“Clearly there’s no investment or attention being paid to what’s
being learned or communicated in the training,” she said.
“Because if there were, there’s no way a job posting would’ve
been written like that, let alone for a museum
director.”[/quote]
It is impossible to teach racists to not be racist:

The only two choices are to either eliminate their bloodlines or
let them win.

But even if there were an anti-conservative bias, so what? Why
shouldn't private businesses be allowed to choose what content
to host? The term "censorship" only applies when the government
is doing it! Private businesses are doing you an active favour
by hosting your content. Rejecting your content is not
"censorship", but merely withdrawal of the favour. No one is
entitled to favours.
The very notion that private businesses should feel under
pressure to show they are not being selective in hosting content
already concedes ideological ground.

[quote]His early political cartoons show a passionate opposition
to fascism, and he urged action against it both before and after
the United States entered World War II. His cartoons portrayed
the fear of communism as overstated, finding greater threats in
the House Un-American Activities Committee and those who
threatened to cut the United States' "life line"[46] to Stalin
and the USSR, whom he once depicted as a porter carrying "our
war load".[45]
Geisel supported the internment of Japanese Americans during
World War II. On the issue of the Japanese, he is quoted as
saying:
But right now, when the Japs are planting their hatchets in our
skulls, it seems like a hell of a time for us to smile and
warble: "Brothers!" It is a rather flabby battle cry. If we want
to win, we've got to kill Japs, whether it depresses John Haynes
Holmes or not. We can get palsy-walsy afterward with those that
are left.[74][/quote]
Seuss is an example of an authentic anti-fascist ie. a racist.
When will False Leftists learn to stop calling racists
"fascists"?

Good signs:
HTML https://www.wsj.com/articles/academic-freedom-is-withering-11614531962
[quote]4 in 10 American academics indicated in a survey this
summer that they would not hire a known Trump supporter for a
job. In Canada, the share is 45%, while in Britain, 1 in 3
academics wouldn’t hire a Brexit supporter. Between one-fifth
and half of academics and graduate students are willing to
discriminate against right-leaning grant applications, journal
submissions and promotion cases. On a four-person panel, this
virtually guarantees that a conservative will face
discrimination.
...
only 1 in 10 academics support “canceling” controversial
right-wing professors by firing them from their jobs. But
younger academics are twice as likely to endorse a dismissal
campaign as older faculty. Doctoral candidates are around three
times as likely, suggesting the problem of political intolerance
is likely to get worse.[/quote]
Passive tolerance of rightists for so long is what got us into
this mess. Only the most active intolerance will get us out.

Piers Morgan pushed out, is the woke brigade too powerful?
[quote]Piers Morgan has left the GMB building after 41,000
complaints were lodged against his opinions on Meghan Markle.
Ryan-Mark Parsons says the controversial host was pushed out by

He recieved light criticism on air from his partner, ran off his

"Woke brigade" = people who are sick and tired of the general
bullshit and racism that often comes out of rightists mouths.
Not nearly powerful enough yet. [/quote]
