"Rarely is the question asked: is our children learning?" ~G. W. Bush

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP

Several Duke University campus organizations, including the Women's Center, the Student Health Center and the Women's Studies Department, sponsored a "Sex Workers Art Show" on Feb. 3, at which nearly nude "artists" danced for students and others while vulgarly criticizing America via acts such as a woman's pretending to eat excreted dollar bills and a man's kneeling with an American flag inserted in his rear end.

Two years ago, Duke's men's lacrosse team was vilified by the Duke administration and faculty merely for hiring two female strippers for a party (from which emanated false charges of rape and the eventual disbarment of the local district attorney).

A university spokesman explained to a National Journal reporter that the recent show was acceptable because it was "art" and "social commentary," rather than male-bonding entertainment.

You know what they say. One man's art is another man's porno.

Frankly, a $2 million house is obscene to me.

I remember a KU "Art student" who devoured different colors of jello, vomited, and called the result
"performance art".
How'd ya' like to be the proud and doting grandpa of this one?
Oh, for the good ol' days when they smoked dope and tried to save the environment.

MindScapes has participated in Wichita's Final Friday art crawl the last few months. Before Christmas they featured art from East High School students. There was a set of four framed pieces (8 x 10) showing women from the 50s (June Cleaver) doing household chores dressed in pearls, heels, can cans; the appliances were also from that era. They were very nicely done and had lots of details. I thought they were just retro collages. Tonya told me to lift the skirts or blouses and oh, my! They were anatomically correct! Tonya tried to buy them from the young artist as a Christmas gift for her brother Chad. The girl needed them for her final semester grade. I wonder if Tonya made a deal for after the semester was graded?

I would think that they would have to also feature a "correct" Ward Cleaver?
If not,....we're exploiting women!
