Given the prevalence of global warming hysteria on US campuses, including Art departments from coast to coast (Northwestern is nearby Evanston), LCC could signify a well-worn buzzphrase in the Global Warming racket known as Land Cover Change.
To a GW nut, or indeed to any run-of-the-mill environmental wacko dabbling in "art", The Alamo could be symbolic of anthropogenic defacement of the environment, since the whole mission complex & later the town which grew around it was founded by those eeeevil anti-Gaia priests at the site of the headwaters of the SA river, permanantly scarring the erstwhile pristine state of Mother Earth's sacred mantle.
Defacing the "defacement" with grafitti could be an act of delivering artistic retribution in the failure-warped mind of a a 44-year old loser who's still in school - an 'artist' who couldn't make it in the private market on his own & whose lackluster career must still be propped up by the taxpayers through one of those notoriously god-awful municipal art programs run by bureaucrats of questionable taste.
Having served some time in a couple of university art departments myself, and having witnessed their debasement at the hands of the PC/Green/Socialist agenda up close, I regret to say that this ridiculous scenario is, alas, entirely probable.
Nothing would surprise me these days. Here in New Zealand we just had a 50 yr old father of three girls get sent to gaol for chasing down a pair of teens who had tagged his house. He had armed himself with a knife, and when the two teens turned and rushed him, one of them got stabbed in the heart and died.
Four years, three months in the pokey for manslaughter. The Bruce Emery case has turned New Zealand’s discussion on grafitti, crime and punishment up to hi-heat.
