LinkLinks DCist: Dave Chappelle Controversy Marks Latest Frustration For Some Duke Ellington Students And Parents By Editor On Dec 3, 2021 Last updated Dec 3, 2021 54 Share There’s nothing funny about the controversy comedian and alum Dave Chappelle has stirred for the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Georgetown. Chappelle’s recent queerphobic and transphobic remarks sparked a major backlash, including making national headlines and creating a social media frenzy; there was even a “Saturday Night Live” joke. The issue has divided the school community, with many criticizing the administration’s response in the wake of a “surprise” visit from Chappelle during an assembly last Tuesday that led to a contentious clash with students. 54 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
