It’s worse than that, this Park Executive Director simply arbitrarily decided this. He made no mention of some much as a single protest. He simply assumed someone of color would get “offended.”
So how many “people of color” has he offended by cancelling the production? Maybe some local black group should picket or threaten to sue over this censorship.
My head is spinning, but it might work.
Spike Lee, Tyler Perry, call your office.
A local black group on the North Shore? Outside of Evanston there aren't enough blacks on the North Shore to form much of a group.
Don't blame blacks or their leaders for the p.c. attitues of a Wilmette Park District official. Wilmette is overwhelmingly white. I can't imagine any black group being so p.c., especially with a history based musical like "Ragtime".
