Rather than a suspension, it should have been a gateway to a wider conversation about the Holocaust, but also how to discuss historical events without blinding ourselves with modern standards and sensibilities. No matter someone's political affiliation, race (as we now define it), gender, or other factors should be used as an excuse to let people off the hook or, worse, ignore what was said or done.
