Palm Beach couple donates $4MM to Penn State museum to....wait for it....

You all should read Dr. Victor David Hanson's new book released last fall called "The Dying Citizen".

It depicts why, and how our country "melting pot" has changed...its quite fascinating its mostly a combination of many factors, social maturity and individualism (globalization, intellectual elites and overall tribalism) specifically that has caused these issues and how we have and are separating more and more from ALL being Americans first and in this together....sad actually...

Did anyone actually read the article? Let me summarize:

1. Two gay guys donated $4M to the Palmer Museum.
2. In addition to the money they donated 19 works of art by artists that are/were (they may or may not still be alive) LGBTQ.
3. They hope their art collection will help to foster DEI.

Nothing more or less. The OP wanted to create a **** storm and a lot of you fell for it.

I did nothing of the kind. All I did was post the article. PSU is getting $4MM - who would not be happy with that?

It's not my fault you guys had to change the narrative.

Devil’s advocate: Why did you include “wait for it” and “This is gonna be a problem for some.....”? What was your point with those statements? If you simply wanted to report the donation, you could have left out those statements.

I could have. But people could have also chosen not to react to these statements. They could have focussed on the donation (and several did).

Yes, that book is very sad indeed. To give a hint where it is coming from, the full title is The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America.

Sounds like an interesting read. I will have to look for it at my nearest book seller.

If you want to hide something from me put it in a museum

I know this board is somewhat anti-intellectual, but exactly what do you have against museums?
