The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra on Tuesday fired Emily Skala, its controversial principal flutist.
In a brief statement, the orchestra offered no specific reasons for its decision to terminate Skala, who was publicly rebuked by her employer six months ago for social posts that supported conspiracy theories about the origins of the coronavirus and about election fraud. More
Because when I think of someone being a danger to society, oh yeah, I think of a principal flutist.
Baltimore has a symphony? I thought all they had was flaming Walgreens and lousy mayors.
The BSO officials (a) claim to have core values grounded in humanity and respect, and (b) inhumanely fire a 33-year member because they don’t respect her personal viewpoints.
Doublethink. Textbook example.
…it sounds funnier if you call it a “flautist”, it sounds like “flatulence”, but its STILL a correct term for a flute player as well…

Not to worry. Kamala Harris is an excellent replacement candidate for Emily. Harris’ ability to play the skin flute is known far and wide.
@Dr. Tar – I don’t know if the firing was orchestrated or not, but it must have taken a concerted effort.
It certainly made a sour note. – Dr. Tar
We need a new law. Any group of authoritarians that deprive an individual of their first amendment right deserve to be legally pink misted.
Vote for me, I’ll set you free.
He who calls the tune fires the piper who marches to the beat of a different drummer. Or something like that.
We are headed for extremely interesting times, my friends.

Flounder is what I think I’m starting to hear every time someone says “flautist”.
I’m wondering what was wrong with saying “flootist”. Sounds right to me. It’s a dang flute, not a flaut.
She has the grounds for a lawsuit, if she could actually find an attorney who wasn’t a flaming liberal.
Did they have a union? I hate to admit, but it seems like the unions are the only ones standing up for anyone’s rights right now.
I’ve had three different people who are union members, two public unions and one private who said their union told them they will not allow them force to vaccines or masks.
Crazy times.
When I think of a Baltimore flutist something else comes to mind. Must be the proximity to DC.
Once again, any dissidence will not be tolerated by the leftist commie freaks.
FOOK IT, IT’S JOKE TIME!!
TWO FAGGOTS WALKING TOGETHER DOWN THE STREET. SEE ANOTHER FAGGOT WALKING OPPOSITE DIRECTION
FAGGOT 1: I DID THAT GUY
FAGGOT 2: NO SHIT??
FAGGOT 1: WELL, A LITTLE SHIT
Q: WHAT’S THE DIFF BETWEEN A G-SPOT AND A GOLF BALL??
A: A MAN WILL LOOK ALL DAY FOR A GOLF BALL

Yikes, I guess you need to be a fag to get that one. I’m tapping out sweat pee. LOL.
Many union orchestra players get dogshit pay.
Chip joined the DC music union. I said, “What the fuck? You make three times more than that at your current job.”
He got confused. “The don’t make any money?”
“Yeah, but dogshit. Four years in Bell I was in top pay better than that, and I don’t have a degree and have to practice six hours a day.” (actually I had to practice eight hours a day, but I wasn’t allowed to fuck up)
I left the union and got a 20,000 dollar pay raise from Friday to Monday. WTF?
There’s no fucking way I’d earn a degree in music and work six days a week for 60 grand. Fuck off.
Don’t forget the union dues. A lot of unions today represent the organization more than they do their own membership.- Dr. Tar
To Benito the Bombed Beaner,
Two Poofters are walking down the street, the first one says ‘Wait I smell fresh dick” to which the other one replies ” nope, I just burped”

“She has the grounds for a lawsuit, if she could actually find an attorney who wasn’t a flaming liberal.”.
…and a judge that will give her standing…

Two gay guys and a straight guy are sitting at a bar. One of the gay guys lifts an ass cheek and lets out a squeaky little fart. The straight guy shifts on his seat a bit later and lets out a resonant staccato blast.
One of the gay guys smiles, turns to the other and says, “I told you he was a virgin…”
Nancy Pelosi = the original Baltimore flautist
“There’s no fucking way I’d earn a degree in music and work six days a week for 60 grand. Fuck off.”
Well, you could try using your pretty mouth. LOL. Plugs ears.
@Dadof4 — Flutist v. flautist. Both are accepted. “Flautist” is a bastardized holdover from Italian, whence so many musical terms originate. The Italian word for “flute” is “flauto”, which is also the word for a particularly high-pitched fart. (just kidding!)
Brad still hates RRTs.

Lol
She must have been blowing some politically incorrect notes and tooting her own horn.
Flute Man Greg is set to replace her. (Google it)

Thank you!
Why didn’t I ask you first? I knew there had to be a reason, but I’m glad flutist makes no difference.
Hm, what’s going on ?. Are they opening position for very experienced “flute” player residing in WH for now?. Just connecting the dots. I’m not conspiracy theorist. 😉
Everytime I read about things like this I think of the poor men and women who were maimed, disfigured, or suffer mentally fighting in recent wars for our protection and liberties and for what? Just to see those rights destroyed by power hungry “group think” lackeys? I’ve sat through several beautiful BSO performances in the past, but no more.
Guilty of wrongthink eh? Surprised she wasn’t “disappeared”.
She is not controversial.
She is a freedom loving American.
I hope she sues.
Crackerbaby, she was disappeared to the extent the BSO could disappear her.
I wonder how long the current director has been there. As long as this woman or new and bringing the! statism in?
Why is it always the flautist?
From now on all members of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra will be required to wear James Brown wigs and will only play such local favorites as orchestrated versions of rap and symphonic variations on “Git Outta Ma Dreams and Git Inta Ma Car”
Apparently the BSO does not forsee playing music requiring a flautist. At last review, there are not legions of people relocating to Baltmore, esp flautists. d’oh!
