GWU president 'personally offended' by art slamming China's human rights record, has it removed from campus

The newly minted president of George Washington University said he was "personally offended" by art posted around the college's campus condemning China's human rights abuses.

"Please know that I am personally offended by the posters. I treasure the opportunity to work with talented people from all over the world, including China," George Washington University President Mark Wrighton wrote in an email.

"I, too, am saddened by this terrible event and we will undertake an effort to determine who is responsible."

A screenshot of the email was posted to Twitter by the artist behind the posters, known only as Badiucao. He is a China-born political cartoonist who frequently uses his work to criticize the Chinese Communist Party.

The art took aim at Uyghur genocide, oppression in Tibet and Hong Kong, the coronavirus and China’s surveillance of its citizens.

"He is a China-born political cartoonist"

Clearly a racist who hates all Chinese people. If he doesn't like concentration camps he should complain about Nazi ones only.

As an alum of GWU, I am ashamed of this new prez, obviously another fountain of foolishness so common today on academic campuses.

That ‘university’s’ namesake would likely have been glad to have the traitor cretin flogged.

This is why universities are dying.

It doesn’t help that they are way overpriced.

Unbelievable. He is the wrong kind of leader for that school.
CRT, Antifa and Pro-Noun obsessives will feel right at home there.

Indeed. I suspect his concern is about all the potential students and money he may lose out on if China gets offended.

I think all these Chicom lovers and whores need to be put on barges and dropped off on one of Chicom’s new fortress islands.

I bet his eyes would have rolled back in delight if the same artist had drawn cartoons criticizing the human rights record of Minneapolis in the martyrdom of St. George Floyd.

No doubt. Someone with a Twitter account should contact Badiucao and encourage him to draw a cartoon depicting how US academics are puppets of the chicom menace.

Mark Wrighton ——> Totally Offensive Person.

Needs to resign immediately to be replaced by a local zoo resident gorilla.

Personally offended so has it removed?

Didn’t know he owns the university. Must be nice.

What ever happened to freedom of expression all the libs cherished and fought for in the past?
