        Yes, and how can we demonstrate to Grenell the dire nature of the mistake he has made? Like for instance, never going to the Kennedy Center. Or Never going until Grenell is gone. He’s just made himself the ‘face of this renaming’. So how can We The People make undeniably, immediately clear this mistake is on him? He can fix it, or “die on this renaming hill”, it’s his choice.

        “The law explicitly prohibits the board of trustees from making the center into a memorial to anyone else, and from putting another person’s name on the building’s exterior.”

        I propose, a class action lawsuit against Grenell demanding both the removal of the illegal name change, AND $1 million dollars from Grenell and any other board members who were involved in this decision for each person who claims harm from the renaming.

        I personally have been harmed immeasurably, and $1,000,000 is a mere band-aid compared to that specific and ongoing harm.

    “Your decision to withdraw at the last moment – explicitly in response to the Center’s recent renaming, which honors President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure – is classic intolerance and very costly to a non-profit Arts institution,” the venue’s president, Richard Grenell, wrote in a letter to musician Chuck Redd that was shared with the Associated Press.

    In the letter, Grenell said he would seek $1m in damages “for this political stunt”.

    I mean I don’t think you can sue for something like chosing not to do something unless under contract just because someone else decides why you did it but then again that would only be the case if law mattered.
