Chicago Theaters Banning Critic Because She Mentioned Black-On-Black Crime

Anti-free speech “hysteria” is infecting more than just America’s college campuses. While the Left donates even more generously to the New York City public theater group that nightly depicts the assassination of the President of the United States, leftwing voices in the theater industry in Chicago are attempting to silence those they deem to be espousing ideas or facts that might disrupt the social justice narrative.

The theater community should be one of the most fierce defenders of free speech, yet in a shameful sequence of events, a significant segment of the theater community in Chicago is now trying to silence a widely respected, long-time theater critic, Hedy Weiss. The reason Weiss has become persona non grata in Chicago’s liberal theater scene: she mentioned in a single sentence in one of her reviews the objective, undeniable fact that black-on-black crime, not police-related shootings, is responsible for “the lion’s share of the violence” in the black community.
