And that's the problem in hinging the issue on the subjectivity of the school administration. It is obvious that true freedom of speech does not exist in the American school system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-48796405639030884412010-05-17T18:41:43.151+12:002010-05-17T18:41:43.151+12:00Well, the key here methinks must be viewpoint disc...Well, the key here methinks must be viewpoint discrimination.<br />If the school is going to remove this type of picture then it must also do the same with all other expressions of political provocation.<br />Let's see how that works out huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-54688357245514057292010-05-17T11:23:02.455+12:002010-05-17T11:23:02.455+12:00I can, myself, think of many other purposes to art...<i>I can, myself, think of many other purposes to art beyond making a scene.

Whether that reaction is one of inspiration, disgust, loathing, love, appreciation of beauty, or whatever emotion you choose, art can and will get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-42102598320785730902010-05-17T11:03:43.093+12:002010-05-17T11:03:43.093+12:00“That’s the whole purpose of art — to get a reacti...<i>“That’s the whole purpose of art — to get a reaction,” Williamson said.</i><br /><br />An open admission that art has become little more than a peurile bid for attention?<br /><br />I can, myself, think of many other purposes to art beyond making a scene.
