Artists in Chula Vista, California, who painted a school mural depicting an Aztec warrior carrying the severed head of President Donald Trump on a spear have decided to change the mural after a storm of protest. The mural also depicted the warrior holding a human heart presumably, that of the president. The image recalls well-documented rituals of human sacrifice among the Aztecs, who are also thought to have eaten their victims.
The mural was painted several days ago and then immediately covered up after local news reporters learned of it. Artist Sasha Andrade Mercado posted images of the mural to social media regardless, decrying what she called censorship.
Several days later, the mural has been repainted to remove the offending image.

A report by local ABC News affiliate 10 News indicates that the artists intend to repaint the mural of Trump elsewhere in the city.
Mercado posted a note on Facebook on Sunday, indicating the mural was moved due to threats to the school:
We decided to change the mural because there were threats made to the school from white supremacist and threats to the kids, we were just going to adjust the mural but when things got out of control and the school started receiving threats and putting the students at risk we decided to change it completely , other media outlets started to enter school property and not being nice about it for example KUSI News John Soderman walked in the schools reception demanding to see the mural with no respect what so ever they also did not do their research and gave out my name and my images without my permission and because of that is why I started to get hate threats.

Wait.....I thought Trump is supposed to be heartless???
Leftists pieces of $hit. They hate this country, and hate White males with a Christian upbringing.
Yes, lets send our children to school with images of our government leaders severed heads... This “artist” is an idiot, as are the fools who hired her.
No need too, Obama will forever known as the gay president, complete with sperm in his temple, thanks to the fact when it came time for his official portrait they went with artists who could check off PC boxes, instead of folks with the best talent and ability.
This was in direct contrast to Black Democrats in Chicago in 1988 who flashed a handgun and used police to take down a painting of the late Mayor Harold Washington that depicted him wearing only womens underwear. Washington had recently died in office from a massive heart attack. One of those involved in taking down the painting, Bobby Rush, is now a congressman representing Chicago.
The painting, by art student David K. Nelson, titled Mirth and Girth, showed the African-American Washington wearing white lingerie including a bra, stockings, garter belt and G-string style panties.
He created the painting in about a night, standing in his underwear in his apartment. It was a portrait of the late Mayor Harold Washington wearing women`s underwear. David K. Nelson thought his painting might ``stir some interest.`` He didn`t realize how much. Almost moments after Nelson, a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, hung the Washington portrait in a private exhibition in a school corridor early in the morning of May 11, the whirlwind of controversy began.
A group of angry armed Chicago aldermen stormed into the school and demanded that police confiscate the painting (which they did, though Nelson got it back the next day.) In a volatile shouting match with the students, the aldermen yelled: How could an artist paint such an insult, how could the School of the Art Institute give display space to such racism?
Where are the artist`s constitutional rights to free expression? the students shouted.
When the Mayor dropped dead, the buzz was at his autopsy, the Mayor wore ladies underwear under his business suit.
I stand corrected!
At least the artist seems to understand the true nature of the Aztecs.
Problem is, no one seems to object to it.
Build the wall. Deport ALL illegal aliens including so-called ‘anchor babies.’
Never let them back in.
California is an occupied colony of Mexico.
“We decided to change the mural because there were threats made to the school from white supremacist “
Anyone who doesn’t like it is a white supremacist in their mind
In this case it is obvious that the 'artist' was also trying to create a nasty sexual reference in the depiction of the president and the spear.
There is no bottom to how low leftists will go once they start digging in the manure pile.
Most of the articles avoid discussing what type of school this is. At first, I thought it was a college:
MAAC Community Charter School was established in 2001 in response to the increasing need for a supportive, alternative learning environment to help struggling students gain self-confidence, embrace learning and earn a high school diploma.

I do, but the one I liked best was from "Blazing Saddles."
Consider the dissonance evident in her producing such a thing and then complaining about receiving “no respect”.
If this doesn’t tell Americans that we are being INVADED, I don’t know what till.
Time for some real PUSHBACK.
I find it hard to believe that so many of these illegals would come here if the country was so racist. We know who the real racists are screeching and reeeeeeeeeing every day.
