Audubon Zoo, aquarium cancel pro-police promotion, citing 'divisive' potential
[NOLA] After drawing up plans to offer discounts to anyone wearing blue to show support for the New Orleans Police Department, the Audubon Nature Institute announced Tuesday it was canceling the six-day promotion, citing feedback that "this event could be unintentionally divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled...
A statement from a spokesperson for the Audubon Zoo and Audubon Aquarium of the Americas said the purpose of hosting Blue at the Zoo from May 11 to May 16, alongside the New Orleans Police & Justice Foundation, was to "promote and foster positive interactive experiences" with the Police Department. But an announcement last week of the promotion as well as a planned news conference triggered "feedback ... from members of our community and from persons outside of our community" which convinced Audubon to scrap the idea, the statement said.

#3 One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. Haven't you heard? Dr Suess is racist now. That means fish, by association are guilty of racism and slavery and must be canceled. Or eaten.
