Hmmm....how hard would it be to GET authority to remove the county’s money from the bank, do you think? Perhaps the citizens of the county would prefer a different bank under the circumstances.

I know that if Wells Fargo put up artwork that desecrated the flag, and didn’t remove them after I found them offensive I’d be moving ALL my accounts elsewhere.

Given Canandaigua’s proximity to Ithaca (and Rochester and Syracuse for that matter) I would expect no less in ‘art’. Sigh, I can just see artists in the Southern Tier scrambling to get their protest art ready for summer display at art shows. (Must go paint something patriotic now...)

” with a statement by George Hamlin posted near it: “A First Amendment Right of Expression.” “

I bet if the artwork involved MLK wearing a dress, George’s support of the First Amendment would suddenly end.

I’m confused... Did the exhibit consist of an ACTUAL U.S. flag, with a bullet hole in it (which, unless it was a VERY large caliber bullet, wouldn’t really be that visible) - or was it a PICTURE of a U.S. flag?

I would think that only an actual flag can be desecrated - not a mere picture of a flag.
