"If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein,' as our prosecutor at the Nuremberg war crimes trials, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Houghwot Jackson, wrote for the Supreme Court in West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943). The New York Times reports: "Trump emphasizes that he is in complete control of the Kennedy Center Honors, saying he rejected several prospective honorees he called 'wokesters.'”
From The New York Times:
Kennedy Center Honors: President Trump said he would host the Kennedy Center Honors himself in December, as he announced this year’s honorees: the actor Sylvester Stallone, the rock band Kiss, the recording artists George Strait and Gloria Gaynor, and the British actor Michael Crawford. Mr. Trump has been intensely interested in the center, naming himself its chairman and purging its traditionally bipartisan board, and said he had rejected prospective honorees he called “wokesters.”
