Truth be told, only a good show will have the audience wanting to sing along during the opening number. The Albuquerque Little Theatre's production of "100 Years of Broadway, 66 years off Central" does just that.
I agree that Professor Berthold has a guaranteed First Amendment right to free speech but, I believe that he has forgotten that with our rights come responsibilities. I do not believe that the classroom while performing his obligations to UNM was an appropriate setting for such a statement. I feel that he has forgotten that his employer has the right to require a level of professionalism and conduct and that he agreed to abide by these rules when he accepted his position.
