So I wonder if Bill Maher and the others who lecture us endlessly about cancel culture

[dsc]

will have even one word to say about this.

The fall play at a high school in southwest Ohio was canceled suddenly, reportedly because of concerns that a character in the play was gay.

Students at Hillsboro High School still were in rehearsals for “She Kills Monsters,” which was scheduled to open in less than a month at the school’s new auditorium, WCPO Channel 9 reports. The play is about a high school senior who tries to learn more about her late sister’s life, with implications that the dead character was gay.

The cancellation comes one week after some parents and a local pastor confronted the play’s directors at a meeting, Local 12 reports. The pastor, Jeff Lyle [photo] from Good News Gathering, denies pressuring school officials, but tells WCPO he supports canceling the play

it would be nice to see this covered by Maher but I figure I have a better chance of winning the Boston Marathon.

3. Bill Maher is the king of cancel culture. His view of cancel culture is anyone who disagrees

with him

10. Bill Maher was an early victim of cancel culture.

It cost him his show Politically Incorrect in 2002.

4. I don't speak for Maher

...but I'm fairly certain pastor Jeff Lyle's cause would garner nothing but ridicule from him.

5. Because we already know this sort of thing is stupid.

But some of us (too many) don't know that authoritarian deplatforming is not great, so we apparently do need to be told why it's stupid coming from our side.

His audience is liberal/left. He knows that. That's why half the time he's talking directly to us. Which should be obvious, but isn't somehow after all these years.

He's not going to throw down about every banal occurrence of right-wing dumb, when he knows his audience already agrees with him on it.

He's not, you know, cable news.

9. Your post makes sense.

6. Why would I care what Bill Maher thinks?

Never understood the obsession some people have about his comments.

7. Bill Maher doesn't gets to lecture me on diddly squat.

Eff Bill Maher. He's on my no fly list, and has been for several years. why isn't he on everyone's no fly list?

Unless you love being lectured to by a narcissistic hypocritical a-hole , I have a boat load of other terms we often applied to tfg.

The occasional red meat is the con. isn't that obvious?

8. What? I don't get it.

Right-wingers shutting down a play because of a gay character is a usual right-winger thing.
