Host Margaret Hoover asked Dreyfuss what he thought about the incoming inclusivity rules and he replied: ‘They make me vomit.
‘No one should be telling me as an artist that I have to give in to the latest, most current idea of what morality is. What are we risking? Are we really risking hurting people’s feelings?
‘You can’t legislate that. You have to let life be life and I’m sorry, I don’t think there is a minority or majority in the country that has to be catered to like that... This is an art form. It’s also a form of commerce, and it makes money, but it’s an art.
‘And no one should be telling me as an artist that I have to give in to the latest, most current idea of what morality is.’
The actor has long been outspoken about his belief in the constitution.
In 2008, he founded The Dreyfuss Initiative, a nonprofit that promotes teaching about American democracy in classrooms nationwide. The initiative, among other things, provides teachers with videos and educational tools.
In a 2014 interview with The Associated Press, calling for a ‘civil strike’ in support of the U.S. Constitution to encourage civic participation.
‘I’m going to send you a copy of the preamble to the Constitution,’ he said. ‘If there’s anything in it that you don’t agree with, don’t sign it; just send me back an explanation. You will agree with everything, because it’s beautifully crafted and it’s meant for all. And if I get 500,000 signatures, I’m going to call for a civil strike.
You’re right. Their much proclaimed ‘inclusivity’ only includes themselves and other pet democrat victim groups.
