Hamline University, a self described “liberal arts” college, fired a lecturer for showing adult students this piece of controversial art that is considered by art historians to be “a global artistic masterpiece.”

Some students had complained to the college that the artwork included a depiction the Prophet Muhammad, which is against their religion. Instead of standing up for the “liberal arts,” the college fired the lecturer who showed the artwork. Art historians consider the artwork to be “a global artistic masterpiece.”

Muslims are image crazy. Probably why the women are forced to cover up..head to toe. They’re just plain obsessed with lotsa things....expecially pertaining to women.

Hamline University has a near 80% acceptance rate, only 66% of its students graduate within 6 years.

Its basically a leftist student-debt money laundering operation where the faculty and administrators are stupider than the students.

Pictured in this link is the frieze above the entrance to the U.S. Supreme Court building.

Mohammed is the 4th figure from the right holding a curved sword pointing down. Should he be sandblasted off the building?

Spread the rumor that it’s Robert E. Lee, not Mohammed, and it will be gone by morning.

Why would a Muslim, or a Jew, go to a college called “Ham”line?

Funny. When I get off the toilet in the AM, it says “Biden.” Cursive.

Absolutely. If Confederate statues of Americans can be erased. Muslim foreigners can be too.
