Segregation is back, as the racialist frenzy that has gripped America since George Floyd died in police custody after overdosing on fentanyl has infected the grown-ups at America’s richest and ostensibly most prestigious university. In clear violation of state and federal laws, as well as its own stated policies, Harvard University is hosting a segregated performance of Macbeth tonight. Here is a notice sent out about the disgrace:
FIRE, The Foundation for individual Rights in Education, is as concerned as am I, and documents the illegality and policy violations of this segregation:
Under federal law, excluding university students, faculty, and staff from educational enrichment opportunities based on race is forbidden. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbids all institutions receiving federal financial assistance, whether public or private, from discriminating “on the ground of race, color, or national origin.” Colleges and universities like Harvard that accept payments from students who receive federal financial aid are covered by Title VI. Massachusetts law also bars discrimination based on race in places of public accommodation, defined as “any place . . . which is open to and accepts or solicits the patronage of the general public.” This includes performance spaces such as theaters.
The American Repertory Theater’s decision to restrict a showing of “Macbeth in Stride” only to audience members who identify as members of a certain race or ethnicity is also problematic because it appears to run afoul of the theater company’s own policies, which profess dedication to “making a welcoming and accessible space for people of any identity, background, or ability” — which is no surprise, as Harvard’s student body has become more diverse than ever.

“Segregation now, segregation forever!” - Critical Race Theory supporter George Wallace
Funny how for whatever reason things go full circle.
Manifestly illegal but it doesn’t matter because everyone knows that anti-discrimination laws were made to discriminate against Whites.
If I were filthy rich, I would go, and then sue the heck out of them for trying to kick me out.
You have to be “black identifying.”
Its like Richard Levine identifying as Rachel.
“Black-Identifying”.....ok I identify as black, who are you to tell me I’m not?
This is sad on so many levels. Harvard was created as a Christian school because the thought was that a new society in the Americas would be better Christians if we were better educated.
Vaccines are required as well.
This is so wacked out that no science fiction writer could have created such a dystopia.
Out Damned Spot!
I have no doubt that a performance of Macbeth put on by these idiots will be an epic suck-fest.
I wonder if the actors are in blackface. Or if this is a stuntcasting production that used all black performers.
Sad, illegal, and plain wrong.
I hope the theatre is sued before opening, restraining order, and that it is empty.
What struck me most was the similarities between the Professor and American educators today, from kindergarten through universities.
The Professor, who appears in the beginning and the end of the movie, spews out propaganda to his students, oblivious--and indifferent--to its mendacity (just as American educators do today), inciting them to action which will prove destructive and self-destructive. The young men, his students, excited by his indoctrination, rush to volunteer for the war!
In the end, when Paul returns to his classroom, in military uniform, sickened by the horrors of war and aware of the truth about it and the truth of how he and his friends had been misled, the Professor expects Paul to join his propaganda. When Paul speaks the truth about the horrors of war, the Professor is outraged and flabbergasted and tries to silence Paul. The Professor's brainwashed students stand and shout accusations of treason at Paul, calling him a traitor. Realising that none of them will accept truth, Paul leaves.
How alike are the German schools just before World War I and the US schools of 2021!
The German schools precipitated the horrors of World War I, the Nazi Regime, and World War II.
What horrors are today's benighted American Professors precipitating?
I never realized that “Macbeth” had to do with race. Which of the characters are black? Macbeth? Lady Macbeth? Banquo? McDuff? Duncan? Maybe the witches are diverse.
This probably just means they are setting up a couple of folding chairs for white people who insist they are minorities.
I hope maybe five people go. If that.
They want to see your papers (vax status) too.
What if I'm a white non-ally?
Yes. A lot of blacks will line up to see Macbeth.
Looks like a clever way to get another rehearsal night.
