American Taliban? Student's Art Censored by US Newspaper

Video Title :	American Taliban? Student's Art Censored by US Newspaper
Description :	American Taliban? Student's art censored by US Newspaper Neocons claim that we have a war between US and Muslims fundamentalists, but it's really a war between Enlightenment and ALL fundamentalists-- Evangelical Christians, Jews, or Muslims. The Hampton Roads, VA, Virginian-Pilot newspaper held its 36th annual "Student Gallery", an art contest for area students. The judges included the director of the Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William and Mary, and a director from the Chrysler Museum of Art. But their winning choice was rejected by the newspaper as "inappropriate" -- the 17-year-old girl who painted the portrait posed for it herself -- without clothing. "But there's nothing showing!" complained a Chrysler Museum official, but the newspaper liaison claimed the paper is "thinking about the audience, and all the kids who will see these pieces." The painting did not violate the rules of the contest. The second choice, a sculpture, was rejected by the newspaper for the same reason. Two "judges" from the newspaper awarded the $1,000 first prize to a third student. Chrysler Museum officials were so bothered by the rejection that they raised $1,000 to give to the judges' first choice, Nancy "Beth" Reid, a senior at Churchland High School in Portsmouth. Her painting is still hanging at the Chrysler.

westphalianprinz Do these people think that they are not naked underneath their own clothes? Remember when Ashcroft covered the nude statues that had been standing in the Great Hall of the Department of Justice in Washington since the 1930's? And Colin Powell forced the covering of Picasso's "Guernica" when he had stand in front of it?

This is the most childish country ever about sex. In the Netherlands, if you want to immigrate, you have to pass the porn test. You have to a video of people walking around naked before they'll grant you a visa.

LOL! I don't remember that test when I was in Amsterdam, but it's not a bad idea ;]

When you immigrate to be a legal alien. How long were you there?

I was there for about 3 weeks. Were you serious about the "porn test"? I thought you were kidding. I'm not into porn, but have absolutely NO issues with nudity and art, and don't care if people watch real porn as long as it doesn't involve childen, animals or anyone/anything is forced to be in it.

I think it's if you come in to work and live there from a Muslim country. I don't know if it's true or not. But that's what I had heard.
