Petition Started to Stop Galliano From Teaching at Parsons

John Galliano who is currently "unemployed" and still in the midst of a lawsuit with his former employers Galliano and Dior (the companies) stemming from anti-Semitic remarks made in a Paris cafe last year was recently taken on by Parson, a top design school, to teach a three day workshop called, "Show Me Emotion". 

Parsons said the workshop "will be a dynamic and intimate opportunity for our students to learn from an immensely talented designer" and then goes on to address his past behavior saying, "We believe that over the past two years Galliano has demonstrated a serious intent to make amends for his past actions."

Not surprisingly, a petition has been started on change.org over this controversial designer's engagement by Parsons.  The petition was started anonymously but appears to be from a Parson student who wrote, "[w]e do not want money from our tuition going to this kind of person."

As of this writing, 232 people have signed the petition.
