The Color of Purple author has promoted anti-Semitic rhetoric; you don't honor that with an unchallenged platform regardless of her other social justice work
have noted, Walker herself has directly espoused antisemitic rhetoric. Among other things, Walker published a poem on her blog in 2017 called “To Study the Talmud,” in reference to a book of Jewish law that is often quoted out of context by extremists to attribute a litany of ills to Jews.
Preventing someone from having an unchallenged platform is not canceling someone, and that is one of the fundamental issues with SDCC’s choice here. I’m not sure what values or culture Cortez and SDCC think they’re creating by bestowing someone like Walker with the honor of that platform. It sends a disheartening message to members of our Jewish community, and I’d argue it calls into question how seriously leadership takes bigotry in other forms.
