From today’s Sacto Bee:
"Scott Eckern, artistic director for the California Musical Theatre, resigned Wednesday as a growing number of artists threatened to boycott the organization because of his $1,000 donation to the campaign to ban gay marriage in California."
What is they call it when someone is punished professionally due to their political beliefs — especially in the arts?
I remember now: McCarthyism!
I expect we’ll see prominent liberal defenders of free speech and artistic freedom leaping to Mr. Eckern’s defense any moment now,angrily denouncing the intolerance of those who cannot abide contrary opinions.
And if there is silence, that will speak loudly, too.
