The Kennedy Center, which is introducing major cultural changes since the arrival of President Donald Trump in the White House, fired Tavish Forsyth, a contractor who worked with children and served as an associate artistic leader at the Washington National Opera Institute.
Forsyth was fired for posting a disturbing 35-minute nude video where he recited a poem criticizing the institutional changes the Kennedy Center has been making to combat woke culture within the institution.
