1. Art is in the eye of the beholder
There was a hissy fit by the public a while ago when students in a minority school (96%)painted a mural in the cafeteria of students eating lunch. What did they object to? The fact that the kids depicted in the mural were all minority (Hispanic and Black) with the exception of 1 white kid. The newspaper printed a pix of this and the public (Florida) didn't like that there was only ONE WHITE KID in the picture.

Excuse me? These kids were ACCURATELY representing THEMSELVES and their school in that mural. What in the world did these people expect? Do you know the school was ordered to cover up that mural?

What in the world is wrong with people? Gotta get out of this state.
