Painting of family banned for being offensive

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/scho...onal-marriage/

This is rather ridiculous, reminds me of how in the soviet union artists were restricted to painting generic workers working to support the soviet union. Makes me wonder if this might be the start of some sort of ploy to open people to the idea of a THX 1138 style family.

What ever happened to creative liberty in art class?

From all that time you spent in the soviet union, I take it?

Edit: WTF are you doing linking the story through a Glenn Beck website? Are you a secret conservative or something?

Actually the whole soviet union thing was a reference to something I saw on Rick Steve's Europe. He went through this one soviet park of some sort, where he described all the details of why the statue carving mural(I'm not quite sure what to call statues carved into a wall, a sculpture?), and also the odd little souvenir booth at the entrance to the park.

Did not realize that this was glenn beck, got this off youtube, shit... well now I feel stupid.

Perhaps a bit of deadman rubbed off on me from all the times when I tried to help him come to his senses..... I need to wash now...... with boiling hot water and steel wool.

Idk, but at least it keeps my mind off the huge wave of storms heading towards me. I feel like the steamroller guy from Austin powers.

Why is this even news? It sounds like a bunch of people throwing a fit over a mediocre panting in a high school. Either way they're still letting her slop her shite on the wall so.. yay.

I can see how depicting some cis, white, straight dude might marginalize a whole fuckton of people. Perhaps the administration is painfully aware that they may have students who are minorities, female, gay, trans in whatever combination. Being a highschool student sucks bad enough without being marginalized or erased.
