Of course, there’s a Change.org petition looking to keep John Galliano from teaching his master class at Parsons School of Design. The petition, seemingly penned by current Parsons students, reads: “It doesn’t matter if its for three months or three days, hiring someone who has made such horrific comments shows that the school values Galliano over their entire Jewish student body. It shows they value him
over their students’ respect, peace of mind, and heritage. It is disgraceful to hire someone who has made such inhumane comments.” The petition has been signed by several Parsons alums and students, all outraged that the disgraced (or recovering, however you wish to see it) designer will be on the school’s payroll. While their anger is understandable, I wonder if maybe it’s worth it to give a recovering alcoholic a chance. What do you think? Will you be signing this petition?
