Inoffensive fifth grade art

Richard Sprague

Among the excellent exhibits at last night's 29th Annual Fine Arts Showcase at Mercer Island High School:

inoffensive minimalism

 

Apparently, this fifth grade class had prepared an exhibit that included one picture that one parent found "offensive", so at the last minute they re-did their pictures this way to ensure that nobody would take offense.

I don't know about you, but I find this new display highly offensive!  I will be greatly offended if they do not take it down and replace it with the original!
