Should Manhattan Theater Club have had the right to show Corpus Christi in the 1990s even though it highly offended Catholics (and audience members had to pass through metal detectors)? Or should we have censored that as well ? To Catholics, it was a "wart", "a cancer" and highly offensive.
It's literally frightening that anyone would think to censor any of these: Mame, the Michael Moore show, and Corpus Christi. Each of these shows offend certain people. But censorship is exactly what "1984 on Broadway" warned about. Once you start to censor any of these shows (no matter how reprehensible they may be to some), we slowly lose our free speech as Americans. |
