#1 Perhaps the Art Ensemble can use them?

#2 "Equity" is Wakandan for shakedown. This is just Sharptonism in a new wig.

#3 My niece's mother in law received one of those emails. I'll try to get her to send me a copy as I'm really curious as to how they worded it.

Sandra had been volunteering there for at least 10 years.

#4 Heard about this on the radio. Not only are they volunteers, but are were required to have extensive training to be knowledgeable about the subject matters/artists/materials, etc., something like a minimum 5 yrs training. Many were major donors. I doubt Monica has that depth of knowledge, hers is skin-deep

#5 I remember Sandra saying that she took a lot of classes before she was fully certified to work there.

That and a Fine Arts (and Education) degree from the University of Michigan.

The new folks might know about tagging, though.

#8 Firing volunteers, I think I've heard it all now but we'll give it another day.

#9 The explanation given said, among other things, that they wanted to make it possible for those less well off to be able to participate. New docents would be paid.

Since this is Chicago, that means sinecures for the friends/relatives of the clout-heavy.

I'd guess that donations will decrease, but I'm not sure how much future revenue matters in a bust-out. They get some taxpayer money; maybe that'll go up to compensate, or maybe they'll sell off artwork that's too white.

#10 or donors

Selling off the museum's collection piecemeal will fund the looting for many years.

#11 White male marketing VP at North Carolina hospital wins $10million 'reverse discrimination' payout after he was replaced by two women - one of whom is black - as part of diversity and inclusion program

#12 You can't fire me. I'm a volunteer.

#13 Most of the volunteers are probably liberals and agree with the policy.

Thank you sir, may I have another.

#14 I guess they never caught the news that the Detroit fine arts museum had to put it's contents up for sale to cover costs of the city. They're future is already written.
