An art exhibit currently on display at East Tennessee State University features works that focus on “socially and politically engaged” themes, with many depicting extreme left-wing perspectives.
The Fletcher Exhibit, held in remembrance of Fletcher Dyer, a former student who passed away in 2009, invites artists worldwide to submit pieces that align with its global issues theme and is hosted at the ETSU Reece Museum.
Photographs of various art pieces obtained by Campus Reform display images of President-elect Donald Trump alongside swastikas, Hitler, and what appears to be Ku Klux Klan hoods.
One image features House Speaker Mike Johnson, with swastikas transforming into Christian crosses in its background. Another collage combines photos of Trump and various modern conservative figures with images of Hitler, swastikas, KKK members, and antisemitic slogans, including “Jews will not replace us.”
Other works include a painting of Trump’s former Senior Advisor Stephen Miller driving a “Project 2025” truck, accompanied by three members of the KKK. In another piece, an American flag is distorted to take the shape of a KKK hood.
Vice President of ETSU’s Turning Point USA chapter, Connor Vincent told Campus Reform the art featured in the exhibit was “disturbing” and is responsible for “promoting hate.”
Despite controversial views on Trump, Vincent argued that “it is wrong to display anyone as a Nazi or compare them to Hitler when they are far from it,” he said. Vincent said he finds it “disgusting” to see imagery “comparing the cross, which many people on campus hold very dearly to their way of life, to a swastika or symbol of hate.”

The historical ignorance of these folks is criminal, and their professors should be held responsible for the misinformation they pumped into these young heads.
Oh, those edgy artists. How original...
High School kids haven’t been learning US or World History for decades. I am not surprised at all.Send your children to tough private schools if you want them educated.
Or homeschool them.
Exactly research good textbooks and homeschool.
Oh, those edgy artists. How original...

Who ever would have thought of this?
If the swastikas were to have morphed from something it should have been Demonrat DONKEYS!! Dems are the actual National Socialists— actually International Socialists aka Communists.
So naturally- attack Christians (who were slaughtered in the camps by Nazis- see: Dietrich Bonhoeffer Lutheran Pastor, and the many Catholics-Maximilian Kolbe,Stefan Frelichowski,and nearly all of the July 20 Plot Prussian aristocracy and other Christian denominations). Attack CHRISTIANS as being National Socialists when in truth they fought Nazis to the very end and ended them.
This is because the “artist” involved in this is an f’n Communist, and AntiFA like slime.
Christians, beware, they are coming for you. Stand and defend, and conquer this disgusting world trend.
Just defund entirely. They have free speech, but not on my dime.
Fire countered with fire- it’s an idea facilitated by crossbows and ghillie suits. The Virginia at Christmas look:

ooo ooo... now show swatstikas morphing into star of davids!
Oh... you won’t do that? Why not? It’s offensive and against school policy? Huh.
Okay, show swatstikas morphing into pictures of Allah.
Oh... you won’t do that? Why not? It’s offensive, and against school policy, too?
Oh... I’M the one promoting “hate speech”?
Wow, that’s so courageous for these artists to express themselves in this way. Let’s see them do Islam now.
The UT system has been one of the weakest in the south for decades. NC, GA, AL and AR have better universities.
One girl I used to help do science fair projects went to engineering day at UTK and they gabbered on about trannies and diversity.
She took the out of state tuition hit and went to Mississippi State.
It’s a shame because our state has plenty of money and could do so much better.
East Tennessee State University (ETSU) is ranked #315 out of 436 National Universities.
It could go out of business and never be missed.
I call it crart. Crap+art.
Send your kids to a Hillsdale type COLLEGE. Otherwise the money is in TRADES.
What would be the “response” if an angry group of conservatives were to show up and tear all of these stupid “artworks” down?
Better yet, throw paint all over the exhibits?
Motorcycle accident at age 22, a senior in the art program. I would have guessed AIDS.
The swastika is so old it goes way WAY back. The American Indian tribes used it. Arizona Highways, over 50 years ago had a photo of Antelope Ruin in it. They received letters protesting the “graffiti” on the wall behind it. The magazine dedicated a page to showing the history of the symbol in American Indian culture.
It was a good luck symbol to the rest of the world long before the nazis grabbed it off. And it does not matter which direction the legs point in.
