    Of course, in discussing how "offensive" the work may be to the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the point that the First Amendment protects precisely speech that some people find offensive was somehow missed. And the attorney claiming that the panel was biased against censorship - well, isn't the whole country supposed to be biased against censorship? As in: free speech is part of he constitution! Yes, there are restrictions - but he should know better, these restrictions do not apply to the ideas expressed in a work of art in a gallery - a college gallery to boot.
