Nancy Gish and Wendy Chapkis, professors of English and sociology, respectively
Gee, there's two real productive citizens. Has sociology ever accomplished anything? Has any sociologist in any way whatsover improved the world? Anyone? Bueller?
"You have to separate the art from the artist," said Gish
How about we separate the HEAD from the artist when he's a freaking cop killer?
I mean, this is a rhetorical question, but have you ever heard of these lefties getting all pre-orgasmic over the "art" of someone who didn't "express himself" by killing cops and other random people?
[Gish] cited poets in her curriculum who were jailed in their time.
That tells us just about all we need to know about Gish's teaching, doesn't it? A lot of Amiri Baraka and Leonard Peltier, and various other quasi-literate "victims of The Man" and their juvenile maunderings.
Real artists don't go to jail because they're too busy entertaining, delighting and inspiring people.

If you are so narrow-minded as to consider 'art' as being mere technical proficiency, you might be correct. Howerver, if one looks at the gestalt of art, particularly the modern view of art as "performance socialism", then you see the 'art' being taught today; 'art' that says peeing on a crucifix is worthy of NEA grant money. Art that says if you fling poo, you get paid for it.
The new 'art' is not about art at all; it's simply a masquerade for rebellion, for paganism, for atheism, for all that hates God; walking in lockstep with the New Socialism that would on the one hand wants to live in the basest immorality, and on the other, will be genuinely shocked should, God forbid, Islam came into power here in the USA and gave 'em a taste of what Islam has in mind; summary executions. That, citizens, is what 'art' is about.
