The poisonous fruit of the left’s long march into academia. They have destroyed our universities and colleges, with public school education not far behind. Inculcation, indoctrination and brainwashing. Why do our taxpayer dollars still go to these treasonous machines? WE are funding this public exhibit. We are funding the new Nazi-esque youth movement. We are funding the war on freedom, truth and individual rights.
The universities are the fifth column. We must not fund it.
And don’t be fooled by the “free speech” ruse. My colleagues and I are not allowed to speak. Conservative professors are bordering on extinction. Pro-Israel voices are harassed, bullied, and beaten.
Imagine the pandemonium if Obama had been depicted beheaded.
U of Alaska: We Won’t Take Down Painting of Beheaded Donald Trump
By Jillian Kay Melchior, Heat Street, April 20, 2017:
The painting, created by Prof. Thomas Chung, hangs on campus as part of an art exhibition this month.
But it became controversial after a former adjunct professor, Paul R. Berger, posted the image on Facebook, saying he was “not sure how I want to respond to this.” On one hand, he posted, “first thing that comes to mind is freedom of expression,” but he also noted the university’s exhibit was publicly funded.
[the_ad id=”90673″]
Berger’s post soon prompted outrage, including several calls for the university to remove the painting. By deadline, neither Chung nor school officials responded to Heat Street’s request for comment.
But in an interview with the local NBC affiliate, the chair of the University of Alaska Anchorage’s fine arts department defended his decision to keep the painting up.
“If [students] were taking a class at the university and made art that was considered controversial, no matter what their political or religious bent is, we would do our best to protect them and protect their rights to make that kind of work in the institution, whether it would be a student or a faculty,” he said.
The University of Alaska Anchorage has at least one policy in place that “clearly and substantially restricts freedom of speech” on campus, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
And in recent years, art has also been censored at the university a handful of times. Nude sketches were covered to avoid offending a church group a few years ago, the Alaska Dispatch News reported, and offended parents also moved a sculpture of a penis, damaging it.
But the university also has a recent history of defending controversial expression. In the early 2000s, administrators defended a professor after a Native American grad student claimed her poem “Indian Girls” was racist. The statement issued by then-president Mark Hamilton is still cited on campus today.
In it, Hamilton wrote: “Opinions expressed by our employees, students, faculty or administrators don’t have to be politic or polite. However personally offended we might be, however unfair the association of the University to the opinion might be, I insist that we remain a certain trumpet on this most precious of Constitutional rights.”

I am more afraid of the evil lefties than the evil isis!!
you should be they empower blm mexican gangs and isis
They are on the same side.
you should be[,] they empower blm mexican gangs and isis
What does “empower” mean in your post? Please, note that I didn’t use “near-sentence”; note that I am not referring to the definition, “to authorize”; And, do not use the word “power” in your reply.
It’s getting closer and closer to not being an either/or situation. The left is becoming Islamic and extremely dangerous.
The college kids are turning into communist because they are being taught by communist/Marxist Professors!
My same thoughts yesterday. I don’t fear them personally; but they are the greater threat to civilization.
These are that special kind of leftards. The attention whores leftards.
Or another way to whine out loud, and make yourself visible by most stupid reasons, in this case, the sweetest leftist dreams of finishing trump.
This is something Kim Kardashian could come up with, if she tried again to break the Internet, this time with a political statement. The end result would be the same as before; colossal amount of stupidity.
Cowardly as normal….wonder why this ‘artist’ did not submit a picture of mohammed’s bloody head…..I have no problem with his right of free expression, I just wonder why all these brave artist types somehow never come up with anything about the wonderful religion of peace
They are cowards.
Or a picture of a dying Muhammed clutching his chest as his Aorta is torn?
We let the commies take our children
We have to take them back. I know what are you talking about by my own experience. Let’s stop it!
There should be equal time for the opposing view point, show a plucked and eviscerated o’bimbo with a naked hillary holding up his testicles. Fair is fair.
No way that gets allowed as that would constitute obscenity, which is exempt from protection under 1A.
You really don’t know what you are talking about, you prattle like a democrat.
Reconcile your claim with Miller v. California.
Proof by selected instance is not proof.
I’ve got your reconcile chambered, maggot.
That’s because he is.
We checked.
It replied, “Ahs done ira ara bees *(^%^&*##$&#”!.
Dude, if the reasonable restriction rules applied (and they don’t. This is in art gallery, not a public mall), … why is Mr. Chris Evans nude? …
If I were Mr. Evans I would sue for copyright infringement btw – for reasons completely separate from nudity or politics. He needs to show that he has an interest in protecting his rights to his image. They might come back with a public-figure fair use (b/c He portrayed Captain America, therefore F’ him) but if he demanded a license fee – plus damages for not asking permission (assuming that’s the case), he would then protect his image from some uses, and his value would go up.
Personality rights might be better grounds.
Leftists always have a self-righteous answer, don’t they?
Ask a leftist that.
What testicles?
To be optimistic, there might be something?
You will find his testicles on his husband Michael.
As art, regardless of subject it is LAME, sloppy and stupid.
and ugly
Simple test: What would they do if the painting depicted Mohammad decapitating Jesus? A terrorist decapitating a child? Batman decapitating Pelosi or Schumer? … They would wet their panties. It would be hate speech, incitement, provocative, controversial, and of course – for Batman – copyright or trademark infringement.
Bottomline – Lietards lie – that’s what they do. This has nothing to do with free speech – it is simply naked hatred for civilization and an expression of violent bigotry against anti-violent Americans.
Actually it would be more appropriate if an Antifa snowflake with Nastie tats decapitated Trump …
Captain America was an anti-Nastie and would never decapitate the President.
Seriously?
Mohamhead decapitating Jesus? Are you joking? They’d cheer. Jesus decapitating Mohamhead, they’d be screaming and rioting.
Nailed it.
You fixed it for him.
In America today, the enemy is within. In fact, if Muslims jihadists bump off a good many of them it won’t be any loss to the U.S.
Nowe that’s a picture of poetic justice.
Well actually, Obama’s head should be right in front of the blurred out part of the picture all you would see is the back of his head, that is if you want a “truthful representation” of Obama, ah bathhouse Barry.
oh you know that that would be 6:30 news all week and half of next.
Not sure they would care about the decapitating Jesus.
Great thought !
Freedom of expression ONLY applies to the LEFT.
I guarantee you if you replace the head and body with Obama, you’d be beat up or killed and it would be removed.
Does that go for sasquatch, lurch, rice, and james taylor too?
let’s all imagine if “professor” chung pulled this stunt with obola….he would still be in prison for a hate crime, and never allowed on an american campus again. the time has come to close american academia, and let employers educate and train their workforce under the old master and apprentice program whereby a young man signs up to work for free for 7 years in exchange for an education, a diploma, and valuable work education. i am an employer with a masters degree in engineering from a US university, and have observed over 40 years that it would be much more beneficial for the youngsters and employers if employers could take a promising 18-year and make money off them for 7 years in exchange for educating them and making them a useful, valuable 25 year old. the odds are the 25-year would stay with me, and we’d both be better off. this approach would rid us of tens of thousands of useless, overpaid, democrat, “professors” and the bloated pigs we call state universities.
Alaska what happened to you?
There is a great deal of mental illness at the University. So much so that they have a special part of the budget dedicated to that alone. You can’t make this stuff up. Go to page 55 of the University budget: (that’s PDF page 63) Or, search the document for “mental”. 🙂 Hilarious!!!!!
https://www.alaska.edu/swbir/budget/FY2017_Redbook_Final_Web.pdf
It goes on and on for several pages on mental health stuff. They’re nuts. You’d be nuts too if you lived thru a few of their dark cold winters.
If you are a girl in Alaska, the odds are good, but the “goods” are odd!
Same madness as with the other Universities in the other states.
Commies stole our kids
Makes me want to weep. We moved to the Territory of Alaska in 1954, was there when it became a state, and always considered Alaskans to be conservative, pioneer types who lived there because they love the country and what it offers. Sad that there is now the liberal left to trash all that is good about my beloved state.
We didn’t com up till the early 1970’s, but like you, I’m saddened to see that all the liberal trash has moved in.
The reality is that, had it been Obama’s head instead of Trump’s, there would be violence, crying, etc
The unhinged intolerance and violent hate displayed by this “art” is probably useful. It is just one more blatant example of the idiocy that has infected the radical loony leftists. Hopefully, many moderates will see this, and the hundreds of other examples of leftist idiocy and decide to vote for more conservative candidates next time.
So, someone should paint Obama sucking moslem @$$ with his face buried up to his ears and insist that it be displayed.
No need to paint it – we have video of it!
“I learned a lot from Prof. Chung – not only about Art, but also about Free Speech. He taught me that people with opinions and beliefs that are different from mine deserve to be decapitated. ”
– from the Rate my Professor website
Looks like the University gets about 150,000,000 dollars from Donald Trump. I thought I heard he was looking for ways to cut spending. Did you hear that? Here’s the budget of the University showing revenue sources:
https://www.alaska.edu/swbir/budget/FY2017_Redbook_Final_Web.pdf
Put a painting of a beheaded Obama right beside it. Then sit back and watch them spontaneously combust as they try to reconcile their position.
Guess if we displayed a statue of lady justice minus her robes with a fence post stuck up her vagina we would be expressing our belief in the justice system.
Any student or person connected to this university should therefor be allowed to depict Hosanna O’Bama the Magnificent in any way imaginable including having vaginal intercourse with pig ( other than his wife ) and the public display of it should not in any way be taken down.
In fact, the university should be compelled to protect it as ” free speech “.
What if someone painted a picture of Obama hanging from a tree? would they tolerate that for a minute??
Not even if Hillary slapped the horse’s arse. From any angle of any aisle it’s a hideous tree from which to dangle low hanging fruit of the Devil’s bile.
Be nice if he’d pose for the painting!
I think that Lefty Chung should ‘hang on campus’.
This is real porn.
Of course they’d never hold a Mohammed Cartoon Contest. We know that for sure.
Since they defend this painting would they also allow a positive painting of Donald Trump for instance and it doesn’t have to be considered “art.”
Alaska has seriously gone downhill fast. The government there has become liberal leftist. I would never have thought it would happen there but it has. I had thought about moving there but wouldn’t set foot there now.
Try burning an isis flag and the school will put you on an ice flow. The leadership are traitors to higher education at that school. Learning has become a joke at many institutions of western countries. I would love to see some conservative artists paint some embarrassing pictures of that faculty.
What a disgrace for a college that gets American tax dollars. They should stop the funding asap. Ironic tho, the woman sitting at the mans feet looks very similary to the young Hillary Rodham, you suppose?
Yes, we suppose, because that’s what is clearly stated in the author’s description of the painting.
Oh no this is an outrage! How is it that people are getting away with open threats to president trump?
This isn’t art this is open hate. Yes we should freely be able to express ourselves but this is going to far!
If this were a Muslim head being held by a Christian or someone did this same art using Obama there would be arrests protests violent acts of jihad. The school would shut down and probably sued!
With every right comes a responsibility and threatening the life of the President, either directly or indirectly, does not qualify as protected speech under the First Amendment any more than does solicitation of murder or incitement to riot. By the same token, the Second Amendment does not protect indiscriminate murder or massacre. Shut off the federal funding to such institutions as this and UC-“Berserkeley”.
Won’t take it down. Ok, no public funding for U of A. Zero. What if that painting were in reverse with Trump holding Hillary’s head. The MSM would station camera crews on campus round the clock encouraging rioters to take it down and calling for the resignation of the fine arts chair person. What is it about the below zero temperatures and lack of sunshine for two months a year in Alaska that makes them so out of touch with reality.
If they don’t take down the painting of a beheaded Trump, then another painting of a ” Nurtured ” Obama should be placed right next to it. With Hillary Clinton in the background swinging from the gallows.
Just my 2 cents worth.
You submitted your post using a computer, right? Neutered, knucklehead, not nurtured. Your subject for an alternate painting makes a good point. I bet the University would refuse to display it.
Agreed!
Liberals, particularly the LGBT group are the genuine haters who love this crap. Put them into battle in Iraq, the cowardly little shits.
Be ashamed Alaska University, this is not artistic! You have fallen into the hatred and violence of the leftist whores and we all know that if you exchanged the head with Muhammed instead that you cowards would never have the guts to do, your University or this painter would not be alive today because even if Muhammed is a dead and violent killer and pedophile, the leftist and Islamist would be screaming bloody murder while they murdered for insulting their beloved pedophile. This is a sad condition of the leftist braindead demise of their dumbs universities and education institutions given over to their petty hatred because their beloved Islamist leftist did not win an election. This is NOT art and if it is who wants or needs this kind of petty murder and hatred let loose on the innocent. We shall watch the leftist Islamist demise of you monsters depicting beheadings that you have never spoken out against by Islam of the millions of our neighbors and brothers and sisters beheaded just because they were not muslim…We never heard the leftist media or Universities or Govs speak out against these slaughters of babies, children, men and women simply because they were Christian, Jew or Yazidi and now you fools behead your President in the same fashion. We know that nothing good comes from such evil! Your petty hatred University shall see your demise in the fashion you chose . Shame upon you leftist cowardly whores of Islam…you leftist deserve what comes in Judgement by God for such undeserved hatred to President Trump! Shame upon you all!
Mr. Berger: It is spelled elicit, not “illicit.”
Ah, The University of Alaska are inspiring from IS as IS still enjoys beheading the people.
Defund the university of Alaska and send Soros to Hungary
We just need a couple of conservatives come forward and execute these folks, liberals are cowards they will soon stop this crap.
It’s unadulterated Evil. Thomas Chung is now chief propagandist for ISIS, serving to normalize an act so vile America has sworn to eradicate its perpetrators from the face of the Earth.
Memo to University of Alaska: Total Fail.
This is not free speech.
Perhaps removing all gutter`mint support for this alien indoctrination gulag (AIG)* will temper their Treason.
* Obligatory acronym for the millennials and bureau`rats.
IS THAT LITTLE HILLARY ON THE RIGHT SIDE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN JUST FINISHED GIVING THE DUDE A LIP MASSAGE ????
Sarah Palin, please look into this outrage from the University of Alaskastan!
This is extraordinarily vulgar, vile and offensive on so many levels. No Christian or decent person should send their child, along with their hard earned money to this indoctrination center of the worst ideologies the world has to offer.
You would think the feminists would be up in arms about this painting. Their hero, Hillary, is depicted as a lowly damsel in distress, seeking comfort and protection from a man. But, of course, they won’t complain because they have no true principles. As long as their leftist agenda is being advanced, they won’t speak up.
There is a major issue here. This is not art, it is political and hate represented and disguised as art, and no matter how “artistically” one would like to portray mutilation and murder, it is still abhorrent. To the staff and student body at The University of Alaska at Anchorage, you should be ashamed to display such a tacky cartoonish political statement as it decreases the reputation of the college to a joke in extremely poor taste.
What is this joke of a schools mascot? SnoopDog?
Fine! I have a solution for this. Have Luke Cage beheading bozo with Killary’s body nearby. See what happens.
Shame on The University of Alaska!! So tired of all the Universities being led by Liberal Idiots! I couldn’t STAND Obama!, and guaranteed to have been arrested if anyone dared to do such to the Usurper Obama!!!
