Rochester student art show
From the Rochester (NY) Democrat and Chronicle: "Local school district officials in Moravia, Cayuga County, are prohibiting a high school senior from displaying charcoal drawings of nude females at a districtwide student art show. In response, Moravia High School senior Sheila Albanese said she will hang the drawings at Thursday's show with black strips with the words "censored" over parts of the drawings that could be considered offensive." . . . UPDATE: The Moravia student art show was held last night with nine nude drawings by two artists. "Each drawing of a female had a black strip placed over the breast and genital areas, and the genital area in the male drawing was covered in the same way. Three drawings had the words 'censored' on the black strips." This article quotes several attendees who found the nude drawings "tasteful" and criticized school officials' decision not to let them be displayed openly.
