Must not even mention the KKK

Even if you are trying to be anti-racist.  The sensitive petals feel "threatened" even at the mention of it



A University of Iowa vice president repeatedly defended UI's initial statement and later response to the removal of a controversial sculpture on the UI Pentacrest on Dec. 5, even amid criticism that the statement inaccurately described the artist's intentions and undermined the university's commitment to free speech.

Before issuing UI's statement at 12:20 p.m. Dec. 5, vice president for student life Tom Rocklin spoke with the artist, visiting art professor Serhat Tanyolacar. Rocklin also had received information explaining that Tanyolacar intended his public artwork to be a critique of ongoing racial violence in the U.S., according to emails and other correspondence released by UI last week.

"I have learned a lot from listening to students over the last few days," Rocklin wrote to UI law professor Alexander Somek on Dec. 9. "While I understood that I would view the piece through the lens of my own privilege, hearing the students pour out their hearts as they described the fear they felt when the saw the piece was a visceral reminder that intent is only part of the question ... and sometimes impact trumps intent."
