       BOYCOTT INDIANAPOLIS MUSEUM OF ART!

       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

       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.”

       > 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.”

       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.

       Seuss is an example of an authentic anti-fascist ie. a racist.
       When will False Leftists learn to stop calling racists
       "fascists"?

       > 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.

       younger academics are twice as likely to endorse a dismissal

       times as likely, suggesting the problem of political intolerance
