High School Paints Over Portion of Student’s Mural
10th April 2012
She sketched a mural that showed the growth of a boy into adulthood. The last image showed a man with a woman and child and wedding rings over their heads.
Sounds pretty normal.
Some people at the school felt the mural didn’t accurately represent many students at Pilgrim and school officials decided to paint over the right side.
I guess the new normal isn’t the same as the old normal. I guess we don’t want all of those teenage slackers having kids out of wedlock to feel, you know, uncomfortable.
On Friday, Bierenday spoke with John DePetro on WPRO-AM about the mural and said she was told that her original design may be offensive or a religious symbol.
Oh, yeah, that famous offensive religious symbol, the wedding ring. It’s all clear to me now.

The elementary school around the corner from me had their “Hoilday Schedule” posted last week. No, I didn’t misspell Holiday, they did. They are teaching our next generation. Heaven help the world!
