The Left’s “long march through the institutions” has reached classical music, which is under fire for somehow promoting whiteness and other imaginary crimes against humanity.

End blind auditions so that race will be taken into account when making orchestral decisions. Do it the way colleges do their admissions!

McWhorter has sharp words for white activists who want to think they’re helping.
