University of Georgia to Alter Mural

UGA officials have decided to alter a mural commemorating UGA's integration by altering images of a racial slur. WTF!!

Hellooo! It’s a University. The mural is a piece of ART! You remember ART don’t you? It started out with smearing . . .

But after that there were finger paints, crayons, craypas, pastels, watercolors, tempras, oils, acrylics, spray cans, you know . . . the good shit. Remember when art was the expression of fantasy, the commemoration of imagination, a little tangible memoir of what was and wedge into the future of what might be. If King never dreamed in carefully sculpted prose would we remember to all get along? (OK bad example). What about Goya, Dali, Picasso? Alright, forget them. What about facing the fact that, that is the way it was and often still is.

Stop being such bureaucrats and leave the mural alone.
