Wow, who saw that coming! I remember pulling off more compelling diaramas when I was in the third grade. Not only is this kids work lacking in artistic merit it's also cheesy and unoriginal. Gotta love the ass-clown store owner who sees this as a free speech issue. I know where I won't be buying furniture from in the future. Go to the Projo website for a photo of this kids "art" and a picture of his lame hippy ass.
The kid may have gotten an "A" from his art teacher, but he deserves an "F" in history.
The piece, titled "Bush/Hitler and How History Repeats Itself,"
It seems he failed.
I've always wondered who would be the bogeyman if Hitler had never existed. This kind of nonsense betrays a complete lack of understanding in regards to Hitler, and pretty much everything else.
Fits right in with the Hollywood group he will likely aspire to. Rewards flow to those who best toe the party line, not to those with any talent or artistic merit.
The student's diorama-like assemblage displays two naked GI Joe dolls in sexual positions, another two in Arab garb with one about to behead the other with a two sword, with terrorist slogans and images juxtaposed next to pictures and quotes of Hollywood Liberals and leading Democrat politicians.
The student was not allowed to display his work and was given an F for hate-filled work, being intolerant, and promoting sexual "bigotry."
Jeffrey Eden could himself be contrasted favorably with Ernst Rohm.
I'm sure one day the kid will appreciate the irony in his Goebbels-legacy work of propaganda.
Yea, I felt my last bowel movement pretty much described its clarity and sophistication. I also believe that those who misconstrued my artwork didnt take the time to really read into it., but my feelings dont make it so.
BTW Did this teacher (AKA as indoctrinator) attend Colorado with an Ethnic Studies Major?
I don't know, why don't you ask her??

Wasn't there a series of postings on FR recently about the removal of spelling bees in one Rhode Island school distict because they violated the No Child Left Behind Act and because it created elitist groups of literate students?
The spelling bees were reinstated by the Dist. Supt.
Email sent to Indoctrination Coordinator of Secular Humanist Institution 224C, Rhode Island:
"Thank you for the sheer idiocy. Please continue your indoctrination programs as planned. I just hope that the rational majority of Americans don't see this or we'll never get elected!"
On a humorous side note, the student who sits next to Jeffrey Eden in art class recieved an F on his artistic impression diarama entitled, "Jeffey Eden is a douchebag!"
You're exactly right. I wouldn't expect Stalin or Mao to be the one if Hitler hadn't existed. Their crimes are well-known (except perhaps by knuckleheads like the young artist in the article) but they've been muted by the "romance" surrounding communism and by the apologists for communism who still exist and operate in the West. Anyone should be as viscerally repulsed by Stalin or Mao (or Castro or Ho or Che) as they are by Hitler, yet I have a friend who walks around NYC in a peasants cap with red star and hammer and sickle on it, and he gets very little negative reaction. The wealthy, well-fed, pampered young "communists" on our college campuses can put up a poster of Mao, and who minds? My guess is that, if someone did an art project comparing GWB to Mao, some people would object that it gives Bush an undeserved compliment!
