Thanks, colleague, for moving that.
One thing about the arts community is that you need to have audiences there to watch. The very fact that these artists were having a hard time even performing their art is just a travesty. I do think that it is absolutely essential that we call this kind of thing out.
As I said, it's just a travesty. I would think that it would take precedence over many of the other things we concern ourselves with when artists simply cannot have an audience because of things like bomb threats and so forth. It's from a foreign entity, which is absolutely ridiculous, in my view.
I hope we can roundly and soundly condemn this.
