Student’s Artwork in City Building Depicts Cop in KKK Hood, Sparking Outrage
Artwork showing a white police officer clad in a Ku Klux Klan hood and pointing a gun at a small black child in a hoodie, hands raised, has outraged community members and prompted a meeting between city officials and the artists’s mother.
The piece, which was part of a Denver Public Schools outreach program and had been displayed in a city building, has sparked “concerns from the community,” according to astatement from Denver Mayor Michael Hancock.
“Students were asked to select a master work of art, research it and re-contextualize it,” the release explains. “After learning of the negative impact of her work, the student has asked that it be taken down.”
This garbage is to "art", as "rap" is to music.

He is just reflecting the attitude of his unAmerica President.
