A Black professor criticizes an Austrian music theorist who denigrated Blacks and praised Hitler. A journal in Texas viciously attacks the Black professor, and the White journal editor sues in Texas. Now this British commentator sides with the White guy.

Comments are open. Let him know what you think. This attitude is terrible for the reputation of classical music.
This U.K. Slipped Disc website has promoted sexist and racist views in the name of classical music for decades. Also distorted justifications for criminal conduct of at least one music world donor convicted of multiple felonies in the United States. It's time to say enough!
Making matters worse this post in "Slipped Disc" uses the NAACP’s “A Man Was Lynched Yesterday” flag to illustrate its sorry argument -- that a White professor was somehow treated unfairly in his dispute with a Black professor and has the right to sue his own university in Texas.
Racism and extremism do not always wear a white sheet and hood, or even horns, a fur hat and body paint in the Capitol rotunda. This is a disease in our society that we ignore at our own peril.
Thousands of Black Americans are incarcerated for decades for small victimless crimes (mostly drugs). The Slipped Disc website sympathizes with a White Wall Street fraudster sentenced to 10 years in prison for bilking investors of millions because .... he gave money to the opera!

Just released documents reveal effort to shortchange University of Minnesota students in room and board refunds after COVID-19 shutdown. Some Regents object. Approval process circumvented. Georgia consulting firm brought in to help defend action.
Amazing.
publicrecordmedia.org/documents-u-st…
"One member of the school’s Board of Regents, in a private e-mail, called the university “pandemic profiteers” for not giving students more money as the school stood to get millions in federal pandemic aid."
Yup.
“It’s hard to say” how many students were complaining, Gabel said in a March 24 e-mail to Brian Curtis, the head of the consulting company, Paradigm Four. Curtis was a former TV sports reporter who had written several sports-themed books ...."

The federal Court Complaint Para. 50 states: "Professor Jackson cited studies showing that blacks are more likely than whites to hold anti-Semitic views. Jackson Aff. Ex. C at JACKSON000159."
A right wing racist lie, now filed in federal court in Texas.
insidehighered.com/news/2021/01/2…
This lawsuit supported by the right wing Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) includes Texas lawyers sending "retraction" demand letters to music graduate students around the Country after they stood up for a Black professor attacked in a Texas based journal. Sad.
“It is time that Germans freed themselves from the illusion that all men and all nations are equal,” Heinrich Schenker wrote in the 1930's.
Warning: If you criticize that or Americans who support Schenker today you could get sued in Texas.

This wrong argument that Twitter and Facebook are state actors and can't suspend Trump is made by a businessman who is contemplating a GOP Senate run in Ohio and a law professor suspended from teaching for 2 years over sexual harassment. Pathetic.
foxnews.com/opinion/twitte…
Attack Twitter and Facebook for suspending Trump.
A great way to win over every insurrectionist in Ohio for your Senate run.
And the rest of the voters? Nope.
bizjournals.com/cincinnati/new…
If you can't challenge your own two-year suspension from teaching at Yale over sexual harassment allegations, spend the two years attacking Twitter and Facebook for suspending Donald Trump.

Big punishment for a bad boy. Goldman Sachs CEO only paid $17.5 million in annual compensation because a big scandal cost Goldman $3 billion.
Huh?
Should have been $0 and claw back of his $27 million from the previous year.

cnn.com/2021/01/26/bus…
"In Better Bankers, Better Banks, Claire A. Hill and Richard W. Painter ... [argue that] Bankers must be personally liable from their own assets for some portion of the bank’s losses from excessive risk-taking and illegal behavior."
Example: Goldman Sachs.
press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book…
2016 NYT coverage of Better Bankers, Better Bankers is here.
Hint: A $17.5 million annual CEO payout (down from $27 million) at Goldman Sachs because of a scandal that cost Goldman $3 billion doesn't cut it. Try $0 for both years.

First time I’ve been blocked by a Harvard. law professor. I don’t remember commenting on his Twitter page but I did comment on my own. Vermeule obviously doesn’t want to debate with me his theories of “election fraud.”
No wonder the students are upset.
Over $65K in tuition at Harvard Law is a bit steep to be taught "alternative facts" about the 2020 election.
thecrimson.com/article/2021/1…
"Lol the election isn’t over until Team Joe fixes up your ballot for you,” Harvard Law Professor Adrian Vermeule wrote in a tweet according to the Harvard Crimson.
Vermeule can block me on Twitter but he can't explain that Tweet or his others attacking the election. Pathetic.

The University of Minnesota Honors Program is less than 1% Black and lives in separate housing.
Our football coach makes millions and our University President $800K. K-12 education is vastly underfunded. Minnesota needs this amendment.

minneapolisfed.org/article/2020/a…
Inequity in Minnesota K-12 education spills over into the University. Highly paid administrators, almost all White, separate out undergraduates based on arbitrary admission statistics. The Honors Program with its own separate housing is less than 1% Black.
mndaily.com/207291/news/ct…
The President of the United States makes about $400,000 a year.
The President of the University of Minnesota makes about $800,000 a year.
Most K-12 teachers make under $50,000.
K-12 schools educate most people who elect the President of the United States.
Go figure.
