(AP Photo/Richard Drew) When Alabama goes woke, you know it’s all over.
The University of Alabama’s Department of Theatre and Dance has announced it will assist audiences in processing upcoming plays.
According to school outlet The Crimson White , U of A’s added “diversity statements” to its list of 2020-21 productions.
As stated by TCW , the purpose is “to increase inclusivity, engage the community and promote important discussions in an entertaining way.” The…statements address issues of diversity, equity and inclusion found in each play and encourage patrons to contemplate these issues before setting foot in the theater. Some people prefer to process their entertainment organically. But for those hip to forego the heavy lifting, the school’s wearing a weight belt.
For example, theatergoers will soon savor the musical Legally Blonde. Diversity Statement: … Legally Blonde has a pressing relevance in today’s society as women increasingly step into the spotlight and speak up for their equal rights and power. The musical creates a message that goes beyond promoting mere tolerance of different ideas and perspectives. It seeks out the merit in diversity so that the entire community can benefit from it. An officer for the college’s Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion — Vice President and Associate Provost G. Christine Taylor — praised the arts’ potency: “Diversity, or in this case difference, is always around each of us; however, we may not always be attuned to it. This is the power of the arts. These performances with the diversity statements reflect the arts’ tremendous ability to engage us in a deeper way with diversity, equity and inclusion.” So if you were slow on seeing a show, doubting it would dig deeply into DEI…go ahead and get out your Sunday best.
As noted by The Crimson White , “Whether in classrooms or student organizations, the UA Department of Theatre and Dance is advocating for diversity, equity and inclusion.”
It isn’t the school’s first time to make news for modernity. In May 2020, a professor offered instructions on how to destroy statues: My Bona Fides: I’m an Egyptologist. I have worked in Egypt for 20 years and […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
