The board lacks the power to regulate what music the opera company
can perform: Today's motion, if approved, would result in a letter
from the board to the opera company asking it to lessen its focus
on Wagner by including works by other composers and offering
lectures focusing on Wagner's openly anti-Semitic views.

The arrogance of some Jews is amazing.

This is an interesting thought exercise. The facts against Wagner seem to be that:

a)He had anti-Semitic views.

He wasnt alone in that.

b)He did not commit crimes against Jews directly. (Actually, in his favor.)

c)The Holocaust did occur. (This aggravates the situation at a visceral level because this type of mass murder is a
very emotional issue.)

I do know that medical data obtained using unacceptable involuntary
medical experiments during that era have essentially been excluded.

No it hasnt.

The question of the "exclusion" of the music

No one is proposing that.

of someone who as best I know didn't actually commit crimes is an interesting one. (c) changes all the rules, due to
the horrific magnitude of the crimes.

It is also relevant that Wagner's death predated the Holocaust, so his remarks originally existed in a context that
did not include the Holocaust. He might not have made the remarks post-1945. So, literally, the original context for
interpreting the severity and
appropriateness of the remarks is gone.

An author with anti-black views might face similar scrutiny ...
