In our Deep Dive today, we’ll have a look at the latest pop-culture controversy triggered by Dave Chappelle’s most recent stand-up comedy special and the waves of simultaneous backlash and support it has generated from diametrically opposed perspectives. And in Courage or Cringe: ESPN suspends another female sportscaster; California requires Ethnic Studies and Jon Gruden Resigns. Did a major media network remove a personality from their platforms purely for political commentary that runs counter to their own? Or have they bravely acted in the face of irresponsible speech and a lack of media training? Did the nation’s most populous state act with leadership to introduce an innovative school curriculum highlighting the importance of ethnicity in American History? Or did they engage in a partisan exercise that excludes historical perspective and pits races against each other? And finally, does the resignation of a nationally renowned football coach for inappropriate emails deliver justice and a moment of racial calibration for a sports league serious about cleaning up its image? Or, does it cancel and erase forever an otherwise-accomplished employee over decades old comments made in private?
