[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bigots are getting their way Smithsonian literary fest flagged ‘sensitive’ topics before cancellation https://www.washingtonpost.com/books/2023/07/22/smithsonian-asian-american-literary-festival-memo/ [i]Less than a month before the Smithsonian’s Asian American Literature Festival was to begin, staffers prepared what they considered to be a routine memo discussing programs involving “potentially sensitive issues” that they knew the host institution would want to be aware of in advance. Among the matters cited in the memo obtained by The Washington Post: a panel about book bans, and two events featuring queer, trans and nonbinary writers. Hours later, the acting director of the Smithsonian Institution’s Asian Pacific American Center, Yao-Fen You, informed organizers that she had decided to cancel the entire festival because of “unforeseen circumstances.”[/i][/quote] Death threats from fascists, probably.
