Exhibit A

If this post by Warren Moore is to be believed, New York's Pratt Institute is refusing to exhibit drawing major Steve DeQuattro's work because it's considered offensive.  Other students complained and the department chair cut him out of a show. Why?  It would seem he's a political artist who happens to be conservative.  He takes on issues like abortion and the history of the Democratic party on race.

I don't know how they run exhibits out there, but art can sometimes be offensive.  I'm sure the Pratt people know that.  I would think they'd be made of sterner stuff.
