Teen's Rape Culture Artwork Banned From High School Exhibition For Being 'Inappropriate' | ThinkProgress

Teen's Rape Culture Artwork Banned From High School Exhibition For Being 'Inappropriate' | ThinkProgress:

"Gracie Holtzclaw, a high school senior in South Carolina, was one of the young artists selected to display her work at the Greenville County Schools Art Exhibition this month. She told local outlet WYFF that she was really “excited” to be part of the event. But just a few days later, 18-year-old Holtzclaw was informed that her submission, which is entitled “Rape Culture,” wouldn’t be permitted to appear in the show.
“This piece, for both title and content, was determined to be inappropriate for the District Show because the artwork is on display during a community event and can be viewed by small children,” a school district spokesperson explained in a statement."
