Dear followers,

I need you to do something for me. 

This is a petition started by my friend Ianthe. Basically, a guy in ISU’s theatre department recently qualified to represent the school at a prestigious theatre festival for his sound work on Anon(ymous), a play that grapples directly with issues of racism and culture. This guy has also hosted a blatantly racist MLK Day party for the past four years. 

Including tonight. 

The party went on as planned because so many students in our department continue to insist that it isn’t racist and that the several folks of color who wrote to Rob (the guy) about how hurt, angry, and offended they are just need to ‘chill out’ and ‘start acting like adults’. 

Seriously, signing the petition won’t take much of your time at all, and it’ll help us here at ISU get out the message that this shit is not okay.
