Letter to the Editor
Readers respond to university cancellation of student art exhibit

Regarding the article, "PSU censors exhibit," April 21, the censoring of Josh Stulman's Portaits of Terror exhibit sends a clear message to the students and faculty of Penn State: "think freely but not too freely."

Rather than allowing people to form their own opinions of the paintings, we are greeted with the university's hypocritical nondiscrimination policy. The School of Visual Arts' statement that the exhibit "did not promote cultural diversity" shows that Penn State is so preoccupied with appearing all-inclusive and hate-free that it freely discriminates against ideological diversity. This censorship should be greeted with the same outrage as any other instance of discrimination. Otherwise, in a few years the only Penn State-approved paintings will be of the whole world holding hands under a rainbow.
