In mind of the current spirits of "cancel culture," and "guilt by association," should the Baldwin Auditorium be renamed?

[Alec Baldwin] A Massapequa legend returns to his high school roots (January 7, 2020 Article in the Massapequa Chief HS newspaper)

https://thechiefonline.com/features/2020/01/07/a-massapequa-legend-returns-to-his-high-school-roots/

"As Massapequa was featured in many hit TV shows, including Seinfeld, Friends, and Saturday Night Live, many alumni have grown to become Massapequa royalty. One of these royals is Alec Baldwin, who visited Massapequa High School on November 7. During the visit, he conducted research for a documentary he is currently filming. " [snip]

"Alec Baldwin and his brothers donated the money needed to renovate the auditorium, which they named after Baldwin’s late father, Alexander Baldwin. Who was a longtime social studies teacher and a well known figure in Massapequa."

Alec’s father, Alex Baldwin, was the Massapequa HS rifle team coach for many years.

No. But it would be fun to needle AB with the idea.

“Should the name of Massapequa’s HS auditorium be changed?”

Of greater concern is the complete offence to woke feelings through use of the name “Massa”.

Massapequa is a pro American flag flying area and I believe it went for Trump. When I pass through there I see many American flags.

I bet Alec isn't as popular there as he thinks, but perhaps they like the dad, Alex, and would want to keep his name.

Baldwin should be in Prison for at least 15 years.

No. Instead, Alec Baldwin should be the next Democrat candidate for Vice President (after senile Sleepy Joe's two four-year terms). A Kamala/Baldwin ticket is feasible in 2028 ... or maybe even a Kamala/Michelle Obama ticket ...

Name is after James Baldwin. A great literary figure who happened to be African American and very very gay.

And you're a Nazi if you disagree. /smirk.

My husband thinks that naming the auditorium after Ralph Hoyt is a very good idea

Mr. Hoyt was the best choir master I’ve ever known.
