Sasha Grey and the NEA

I can see people's issue at first, but in all honesty I think it is a bit ridiculous. I think it is amazing Sasha Grey wanted to help a worthy cause, and to be turned down is such ignorance. While I sympathize with companies that do need to worry about their public reputation to such an extent, I think denying certain people the opportunity to contribute is an injustice to everyone. There will always be something about someone that you don't agree with, but cooperation does not have to mean accepting, or even condoning another person's actions. Why can't we just respect each other enough to put differences aside in the name of progress and charity?
