Can we stop the woke bs? The art institute of chicago has a volunteer staff of museum guides... To qualify one has to study for 5 yrs and write various papers on the pieces in a particular section. One museum official in the story was quoted...it's like having a full time job. So ofcourse the only people to fullfill these sorta redicilous requirements ( as just volunteer guides no less) are... White women with wealth,time on their hands.. So these guides all got fired via email yesterday.. For being...well white rich women. And to compensate these women for all their unpaid work? Oh right...a kick in the ass out the door and a 2 yr free pass to the museum. And why fire a well trained,well educated,volunteer staff?,? Oh right..they didnt reflect the overall diversity of the population.. That doesnt have the time,money,education or desire to help out the art institute.. Hopefully they fire this museums director... And when this museum cant find qualified diverse volunteers...and come crawling back to these women. I hope they tell the museum to fuck off. Maybe someone needs to tell the art institute of chicago that karen is working for free.. Other more diverse people arent down with that.

This is so right on. The trained docents were knowledgeable. Where will they find or have time to train "diverse" replacements?

Totally agree.

That's the point...some in the museum wanted to keep the existing guides until more diverse ones could be trained... To which i say is racist AF... They can say well a black kid might not go to a museum if there isnt someone black inside. Which once again is racist AF...why not gett something that appeals to black children then.. Do they think most young people want to hang out in a museum and look at monets' water lillies.??

While i agree the museum were in the wrong for sacking them i don't agree with your assumption that there are no art loving, well educated and wealthy diverse people ready to take on the role. Life So Short, The Craft So Long To Learn
