Suppression of expression in an art gallery (it easily happens when Israeli actions are involved)

Please read two online accounts, one in the New Yorker and the other posted on the excellent blog Mondoweiss, about a recent incident at the Gagosian Gallery in New York. Just wearing a T-shirt can provoke the thought police into action, especially if anyone gets the idea that Israeli actions are being questioned.

I have been a working journalist for more than 40 years, beginning in Los Angeles as an investigative reporter and then in Paris as a travel, food, and science writer. For more than 20 years I have covered anthropology and archaeology writer for Science, Audubon, Scientific American, SAPIENS, and other publications. I have also covered sexual misconduct for The Verge, Scientific American, and others; I write about mental health, especially schizophrenia; and I engage in occasional media criticism. I returned to the USA in October 2017 after 30 years in Paris, and now live in the New York City area, where I currently teach journalism at City College of New York (I previously taught journalism at Boston University and New York University.)
