A mural painted by a student at a Michigan middle school has sparked outrage for featuring a child wearing a transgender flag and a face of a demon. The mural also features a creature holding a syringe, a girl in a rainbow outfit, and the Hamsa hand — which alarmed parents said was a sign of witchcraft.

Historic WPA mural featuring only white children removed from Oak Park school
A Depression-era mural depicting white children playing outside in the winter was removed from Percy Julian Middle School in Oak Park because school officials said it failed to represent the school’s diversity.
While some said the mural was upsetting to students of color who felt it excluded them from the school, a local historian likened the removal to a “modern-day book burning.”
Julian Principal Todd Fitzgerald announced the weekend removal in an email sent to school staff Monday.
“I have had students approach me pointing out that this picture does not represent our student body or the diversity of Oak Park,” Fitzgerald wrote. “We will be working with the Social Justice Club and our parent Diversity Committee to create a mural/canvas that better represents Julian Middle School.”

Michigan is giving California a run for the money.
Mural is just more of the homosexual lobby to gain childrens’ acceptance that sexual assault by anyone is normal behavior.
The non-woke should demand theory own murals.
This is in the sheet whole known as Illinois. 🙄
Why can’t they create a mural on the other side depicting non-white kids? Why instead do they have to erase white children and with it, history?
What a ridiculous, thin skinned, self absorbed society we find ourselves living in.😳
Apparently I miss took a response for the original post and it is indeed Michigan sorry lol.
Newaygo county.
Up near elenochle’s neck of the woods.
As American culture devolves, that mural is a dangerous reminder to people how things once were.
I read the linked article and saw the picture of the mural in question-what the hell do they mean “face of a demon”? (which I couldn’t find, but that is likely my ignorance.)
The LGBTQZWhatever thing is obvious everywhere, but there was so much of it I couldn’t figure it out.
Also, what the heck is a “Transgender Face”? That really had me stumped. Which one is that, a boyish looking girl or a girlish looking boy?
All that stuff pisses me off due to the brainwashing nature of it, but what pisses me off as much and even more is all the COVID vaccine related BS to indoctrinate them to get this bloody vaccine.
All in all, I agree with your observation of a WPA mural being given the boot, and this one being protected, though in general WPA murals were communist oriented works, in my opinion, even if I could appreciate the art itself.
It was pretty clear to me in any case, that was a pointedly “woke” mural with non-subtle indoctrination plastered into it.
I agree.
I admit, the thing with the hand and eyeball is something I would wonder why the hell that is on a children’s mural (along with the obvious things)
Np
Illinois is practically a lost cause,too.
We have to sit it out..like most blue states..for them to totally crash and burn.
Then perhaps..in 20-50 years..we can reclaim her.
Notice all the people giving shots are animals?
The ones saying “stay healthy” appear to be flying witches.
Fruitcake city.
I think the background images are the issues in the background the kids are dealing with. The heart with the band aid is interesting.
The trans and gay stuff is weird. Anime parents are weird - entirely different drawing style.
Lot going on there.
Sadly, a conservative teacher can’t use the “academic freedom” excuse to have the child removed.
But a liberal teacher can have the cat’s criticizer expelled.
Agreed.
It could also be seen as a statement and counter-cultural.
