Feeling a bit harsh today, aren't we.  Ms. Shurtz made an error in judgment.  Clearly she had no malicious intent. IMO, it's the malicious intent of true racism, discrimination, and hate speech which is so despicable. If you feel Ms Shurtz is a person who  "deserve(s) to have their (her) careers destroyed and ruined, " what would you suggest should happen to someone who wears "blackface" to intentionally mock and belittle African Americans?  The "stock" in the public square? A public flogging? Stoning? Banishment?.....wait, this is what her colleagues feel, and, it seems,  you feel should happen to her.  

Let me stick my neck out here: a) be clear, I'm not "defending" her actions.....nor am I defending racism.....far from it.  b) however, I strongly feel all parties would benefit if those persons harmed could find it "in their hearts" to forgive.  The homily says "To err is human, to forgive is Divine."  How about it?
