For the political situation in the US to rise in such a way to have an anti-semitic hate gathering outside of a musical is simply insane. I truly will never understand nor wish I understand how these people can be compelled to such actions. Parade tells a story about how bigotry, both anti-semitism and racism cloud our judgment and lead to further injustice. If anything this is an even bigger theme today as we truly go more in-depth with systemic problems in our country. By taking off the rose tinted glasses can we truly see how broken the foundation is and gather to solve this problem as a collective. Bigotry isn’t born with so how do we as a country stop from ingraining it and grooming children into it? I also wish to gather why this hate group did this. Did they think that their ideology was popular enough to close the show?
