Mona Lisa shows a woman's face....paint a hijab over it?

YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE CONTENT OF A PIECE OF ART BECAUSE IT MIGHT OFFEND SOMEONE.

If there is a play whose content you don't agree with...pick another....but do not ALTER the work of art to fit.

A hijab over Mona Lisa? You aren't far off the mark. In the mid 1970s, a colleague of mine was working in Saudi Arabia. When he and his wife arrived, the Saudi censors at customs took all of his wife's fashion magazines and carefully marked over all the lingerie ads with black Magic Marker! At the time I thought that was merely curious "foreign" behavior by the Saudis. Little did I know it would invade our shores in 30 short years.
