Wichita school board upset by statue

• Cheap Laughs

The Wichita city schools had banned college recruiters from visiting schools because a statue the university currently has on display offended a few school board members.

The sculpture, titled "Holier Than Thou," depicts the bust of a scowling, heavyset clergyman wearing a ceremonial hat. Some observers think the miter looks like a penis and that the statue insults Catholics.

Yeah, whatever. I live in Topeka, Kansas, where this university is. I've taken classes there. (I'm also what a certain article on this site would call a 'fundagelical') I would just like to say that I have seen the statue up close and personal, and it does NOT look like a penis. My entire lit. class went to see it one day, and nobody could figure out how anybody could see something that resembled a penis.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Wichita school board upset by statue. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
