Michelle Marder Kamhi argues that the the U.S. is a "systemically racist" nation has taken hold in art education. Concern regarding its toxic effects led her to write "Poisoning the Well of Art Education" for "Academic Questions," and to begin a discussion thread about it on the Open Forum of the National Art Education Association (NAEA), of which she is a longtime member. The NAEA response was overwhelmingly negative by teachers who subscribe to the prevailing or "groupthink" view. Virtually no consideration was given to the substance of her contrarian view or to the relevant facts she cited. She also started a discussion thread on transgenderism, citing an article by Abigail Shrier which also received a negative response. In the end, the NAEA webmaster informed her that her membership in the NAEA Collaborate Community, with access to the Open Forum, had been terminated because her posts had violated the group's Rules and Etiquette.
