This will surely stop the gun violence in Chicago!

quote:

The Art Institute used to have more than 100 docents, 82 of whom were active, until an executive director of learning and engagement, Veronica Stein, sent an email on Sept. 3 firing them all, the Wall Street Journal reported. Docents are trained volunteers who lead tours of museums, and at the Art Institute, they averaged 15 years of unpaid service.

Love the Art Institute.

It's too bad it's run by woke idiots. Frankly Chicago is an awesome city whose business community and working residents keep competitive despite the extremely shitty politicians.

The firings were apparently sparked by the fact that most of the docent staff was composed of older White, financially well-off women,

wonder who they voted for?

Klevorn, who is Black, conceded to WSJ that the docent staff was "not a demographically representative population." Vaffis, however, noted that the staff was a diverse group socioeconomically, and included a fireman and condo manager among the group.




Uh, I bet it's pretty representative of people who visit the Art Institute

Smart. Firing your financially well off volunteers. I assume those volunteers also donated a lot of money.

"We thought we were being very clear when outlining our plan, but somehow this has been twisted into unfounded accusations of reverse racism resulting in lewd threats against our staff. We’re simply pausing a volunteer educator program and would never want to diminish the contributions they have made. This should not be the roots of a culture war," a spokesperson for the institute said.


It's just a pause guys. Totally not firing all the white folk. Just pausing them.

That’s terrible. But my guess is those older white women voted for that very treatment.

in other words, the people who studied art because they can afford to.....and have the time to volunteer.

The entire premise of communism is for the "meek to inherit the earth."

Unfortunately when they inherit it, they will be incapable of running it.

I’ve always thought the Art Institute crowd looked similar to the 8pm slasher film showing crowd

"This isn't part of a culture war, come on" just shows where we're at

Imagine how brainwashed you have to be to think canning white volunteers providing a valuable service to people of all races/ethnicities on account of their whiteness isn't a culture war issue

Explain why this isn’t racist in itself...rhetorical because I know it doesn’t count against whites.
