I'm open to debate on this subject because the bright lines are hard to determine. But if art is speech, what does this painting say? Is there any nuance to the message, is it a threat, a wish, a dream, an instruction manual? How do we tell? Speech can be violent; can art be violent speech?

Like I said earlier, the best way to test is to apply it to different subjects and different places. See if Kent State and other institutions are equally sanguine about speech that they might find offensive or violent. I'm not opposed, in theory, to some limitation on speech but the difficulty is always who gets to decide where and when the lines are crossed.

Elons chat GPT says 61% of gateway pundit articles are false. Why would elons 'google' lie about that percentage?

I suppose you’d be fine with a pic of Obama with a noose around his neck, right?

I mean, it’s just art…right?

Now, put up a white sign that simply says trans women aren't women and see how the university reacts.

I’d like to see some tasteful trans art. Some female manikins with 4 foot cocks. And a bullet hole in their heads?

I think Saban was on campus when it happened. Seems like yesterday when such a thing was huge news. Now we are numb to shootings in school. Another thread had the austin sniper and it was so weird to see how comfortably numb we have become to violence

Head on a spike was William Wallace after the English king snuffed him. Vlad the Impaler and was the inspiration for "Dracula".

As for the student, missioned accomplished, they now have their 15 mins of fame as most other art they might have created would have been relegated to obscurity.

Eric should be arrested and the university sanctioned for promoting violence.

Then frick Kent State with a red hot poker. Make NO mistake, I'd have said the same thing re: an Obama post, or Biden.

Zero Excuse!

Defund every aspect of the university responsible for that BS.

That's a threat to the President and the University and those responsible for defending that should be treated accordingly.



Promoting violence should lead to less funding. Thats the only way to get these people in line.

Obamas head on a spike at a US University?

How does anyone of any political stripe think how that would go?
