[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He should have addressed and acknowledge it. He shouldn't have been fired.[/quote] He did address it. It's not clear he was fired, it says he's stopped teaching the course. Perhaps it was decided, for the benefit of the students, to put in a new teacher for the semester so they could focus on learning the material and not on the incident? Who knows. I think he responded appropriately. I also wonder if he had addressed this in advance but then gave a reason why this particular film could address the music lesson he was trying to teach. At a minimum, this is a lesson to him (and others) to think twice about course material. Perhaps there is another film that could teach the same message. And in showing that other film, he could mention this Olivier film is another great music example for students who are interested but that he stopped showing it in class because Olivier is in blackface.
