Public School Art Show: Burn in Hell, Trump

Todd Starnes


"A New York school district has launched an investigation into a student art show that included profane references to President Trump.
"The art show at Shen High School featured a dozen drawings of the president’s face. Above the drawings was a sign that read, “Draw on Me.” On a nearby table was a box filled with markers.
"Let’s just say, the youngsters did not hold back.
“ 'Burn in Hell, Trump,” wrote one person.  Another person scrawled the word, “a**wipe.”
"One of my readers sent me a photograph of the art display. Click here to see the hateful rhetoric for yourself.
“ 'I think it’s horribly disrespectful,” parent Erica McGowan told me. 
"She said the art display inside a classroom reflected what she called the school district’s glaring hypocrisy.
“ 'They preach tolerance and no bullying and safe spaces and all that nonsense – as long as you are not a conservative,” she said. “If somebody had put up pictures of Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama – they would mow you down.”
"Mrs. McGowan told me her son Peter was lectured about wearing an iconic “Make America Great Again” ball cap to school.
“ 'They told him it was hate speech,” she said.
"Peter told me the art display was “awfully disgusting.”
“ 'It’s hypocritical for the school to pledge tolerance and then allow photos of a sitting president to burn in hell,” he said.
"But the Shenendehowa Central School District said the art exhibit has been removed - and it was never meant to include derogatory or profane messages about President Trump." . . .
