Wow. A review of Anges Callard's contributions to any relevant social or political public conversation reveals an embarrassingly poor record. Why, Bari Weiss, are you so thrilled to have her in the FP? ("So thrilled to have @AgnesCallard in @TheFP".) Is her cultural criticism so valuable? Are you attempting an expansion of FP with culture/social/arts columns? If Callard is an indication of the content you're courting, I am concerned that my media spending is wasted on the FP.
If you google Agnes Callard, you will find that she was born in communist Hungary to a Jewish family where both of her parents were the children of Holocaust survivors (all 4 grandparents). The family left Hungary when she was 5 yrs old, relocating to Rome before finally settling in NYC. Callard’s mother was a hematologist and oncologist who specialized in the treatment of AIDS in the 80’s. So, if you factor all that into Bari Weiss’s strident Jewish activism and her own part in the LGBT zeitgeist, then of course, Bari will want an intellectual Jewish woman who’s the granddaughter of 4 Holocaust survivors and the daughter of an AIDS medical researcher to be a contributor to The Free Press. I’m surprised that you haven’t noticed how the editorial process works here.
