UNIVERSITY PARK-An art student is claiming his work is being censored by Penn State because of its provocative images of terrorism, while school officials say the decision to cancel his exhibit is not content-related.
In an e-mail sent Friday to fifth-year student Josh Stulman, Charles Garoian, director of the School of Visual Arts, said the exhibit was pulled because it was sponsored by Penn State Hillel, making it a commercial work. The Patterson Gallery is dedicated to unsponsored class work. Garoian wrote in the e-mail that the exhibit would continue if the sponsorship is removed.

After reading the article I think the Gallery is covered in this case, but I would be interested in learning how much Politically Correct artwork has been shown that had similar but Politically Correct sponsorship.
Not to worry.
I'm sure the ACLU is riding hard to the rescue.
(NOT!)
If this was an exhibit sponsored by CAIR, I wonder, would the response be the same? Hmmmm---probably not.
The head of Penn State, Broadhead, has already overruled the Director of the Art school.
Here's the rest of the story.

Yes, how terrible to portray a muslim as a terrorist. It's just so far-fetched.
