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.

They don’t want members of the audience scream “where the white women at?” and embarrass whitey.
I should not be surprised, but this is so absurd, it’s breathtaking.
There still watching a play written by a white man...ironic
I want to see some wag put up a “Coloreds Only Entrance” sign on the theater door.
Where’s Milo when we need him?
