so what are you supposed to do with the art if we can't look at it in a history class? The student in question says it should never be displayed for any reason.
I don't care all that much what you do with it art history is less important than providing a tolerant space for all. Admittedly part of my position on that could be largely due to my cultural predudice that art history is a subject taken by obnoxious aristocrats
Also I think a lot of this is westerners being mad that there is something people don’t want them to do to be respectful
No I agree with this. See my comment about their obsession with the N word. But my point is that people sign up for an art history class and are upset with the content. You're kinda forced to care if you want to make suggestions on what should be changed.
Yes, because she said it should never be displayed. I disagree with this and so do many people. The implication is that no one is allowed to see it in under any circumstances, even educational ones. See, I'm fine with book burning :eric-andre: when it comes to reactionary media, unless it's in an educational context.
If that's what you want, but instead of destroying reactionary media you want to destroy art of Muhammad regardless of context, then say so - since depicting Muhammad for "activism" is bullshit racist behavior, and looking at depictions for research and study shouldn't be allowed, there's only one option left.
And I'm not talking about "you" specifically either, just anyone who thinks simply looking at it = hating Muslims.
I agree. But my main point is what is to be done with all the artwork that people do find offensive? Like I said above, if no one is allowed to even research or study that art, what do we do? Destroy it?
it's a class that they take in order to learn how to manage art assets they use to launder dirty money.
Many of my relatives have been servants to aristocrats and they are just awful to everyone around them and art history classes are a vehicle they use to exclude others and pass down generational wealth

they're literally taking an art history class. how can you "not care" about it if that's what you signed up to do lol
I didn't sign up for art history I can not care about art history perfectly consistently.

the student that complained did care they wanted the piece of culture removed from the cultural discourse

I'm certain there is a lot of art that is not shown that would otherwise be offensive or distasteful for people.

Like G.W.'s paintings? Definitely destroy.
it's a cool general education class also!
that's because college isn't free and is insanely expensive

do rich people really need to take the classes themselves to do that? There are no art money laundering consultants?
in any case if college was available to all I assume the ratio of normal person to money launderer would change a bit
what course do you think art money laundering consultants take to get qualified
maybe if college was free but it isn't and the fine art market is also a vehicle by which the upper class control high culture
