"Apparently not!!! I don't remember going to art class and being shown movies about social issues. I remember alot of paper mache and acrylic paint!!! :)"
That's how it SHOULD be - but it isn't always.
It is difficult to find a good art teacher with a good head on his/her shoulders, who exhibits good common sense, and who keeps their political/social opinions to themselves.
Usually when they go off the deep end, they lean to the left.
What if this teacher had created a pro-abort image using condoms as the medium?
Would he have been suspended? Or merely reprimanded?
How am I supposed to know? However, if you really go back and read this article, it seems the teacher really went out of his way to get this thing shown. It sounds like he duped the administration, because they said they knew about it, but not how graphic it was going to be. Sounds like he proposed one thing, but did something completely different. Maybe that's why he was suspended? Like everything, we don't know all the facts in this case.
