The Content of Cabaret Is Different From Rent? How?
RECEIVED Fri., July 18, 2008
Dear Editor,
I find it suspicious that the Austin Independent School District was going to support their arts group in performing Cabaret (which is about homosexuality, promiscuity, and drug use) but has withdrawn funding for Rent (which is about homosexuality, drug use, and promiscuity) because some people may find it offensive [“McCallum Fine Arts Academy: 'Rent' Due After All,” Arts, July 4]. Hmmm.
