I found the following news to be just sickening but am heartened that the Chancellor made the right decision....
UWGB pulls painting of Bush with a gun to his head (with audio) Was it art, or a threat against the president? U-W Green Bay has pulled a painting that was set to go on display Thursday. It was a picture of President Bush with a revolver pointed at his head. The Secret Service investigated the artwork and did not consider it a threat. Chancellor Bruce Shepard doesn't see it that way. He says any reasonable person would say the artwork advocates assasination. Shepard says people have the right to express themselves on a college campus. But, when it's in a university gallery and they are paying the bills, they have the right to decide what will be associated with their name.
Sick puppies in this world.
At least the chancellor had a brain in his head. The secret service could use some common sense, so it seems. It may not actually be a threat, but it could encourage some idealistic student to try to shoot the president. Cheez.
Forgive me for not being up on this issue. Is this an anti-gay issue or the fact that there is any hate crime legislation at all? Please splain. thanks.
