"This house would discount the reputation of art when an artist commits serious wrongdoing."

Supporters say praising the art can elevate the artist and harm victims, so schools, prizes, and public funds should drop such works; content warnings are not enough if the artist still gains, and repeated, well-supported claims should count even without a conviction.

Opponents argue we can judge art on its merits; “serious wrongdoing” is hard to define; dropping works risks erasing history and limiting choice; and a better approach is to teach with clear context and redirect any profits to good causes.
