The Library at The University of Oregon will censor 4 Historic murals To avoid causing boo-boo feelings and hopefully prevent a crazed left wing terrorist from burning the building to the ground 

 

Here’s one of the murals in question 

 

Raise your hand if you find it offensive

Yea, let's censor art.

That always works out well.

But, leave the Podesta's kiddy porn art alone, that is just freedom of expression.

 

I do have a legal type question, though...The school, as a government entity, is it making laws limiting freedom of expression, of the artist?

I know this isn't a 'law', but it is a rule that carries the force of law.

What would happen to the poor soul that wanted to see the mural, and tore the covering down?

Dangerous people, That can’t be overstated . 

Burning books is out.

It contributes to global warming.

We compost books now, and use the compost to grow our vegetables in the communal farms.

What's the issue with that painting? I see at least 4 neckbeards. 

I am not sophisticated, or nuanced, enough to see it either.

I noticed the broad in the low cut dress, but that is hardly note worthy.

I am going with that there is not enough sexy sexy among the same sex set, or not enough people of color.

Dunno’ for sure ,  it strikes me merely as a depiction of reality 

 

 

I would be interested to know what they find offensive.

Apparently I am to stupid to know what I should be offended over.

The only art I have seen that truly offended me was the Podesta's artwork depicting kids being tortured.

That style, in my opinion, has no place in the art world.

Yes, no doubt, which is exactly the issue.

It suggests an evolution from more ethnic looking people to a more eurocentric culturally white group.

 

At least thats one way you can interpret it.  WHich, with art, its really the whole point.  You see what YOU see.  So, those complaining about it are, in the end more the problem than the actual art.  

 

Ironic, really.

Are you saying my revulsion at Podesta's art is my problem.

I can live with that, if it is.

It celebrates the ascent of humanity through education and evolution, dangerous concepts to wilful ignorance.

Politicians and diapers should be changed often and regularly,  invariably for the same reason.
