Link: Kent State a cappella group bans white students from solo auditions

An a cappella group at Kent State University in Ohio allegedly banned white students from auditioning for certain solos and disciplined a longtime member for questioning the race-based policy...

... Mark Phillips, a three-year member and the a cappella group’s beatboxer, contacted a board member to inquire about how the exclusion of white students aligned with Kent State’s anti-discrimination policies...

...“I fully respect concerns about authenticity, but I also believe that whoever gives the strongest performance should be given the chance,” he wrote. “Art, music, and culture are meant to be shared and celebrated, not gatekept.”

In response, the board accused him of violating the university’s anti-discrimination policy, placed him on probation, and scheduled a disciplinary hearing...

Little known fact: "Cultural Appropriation" is an obscure Latin phrase. When accurately translated, we find that it means "Scratch a lefty, find a racist." We can only conclude that Home Free would never be allowed to perform at Kent State. Because scratch a lefty, find a racist.
