Pulling funding from the arts is significantly more shameful than dirty pictures. Be careful Lafayette County. What will the Moral Majority take from you next?
Ignorance. Plain and simple. Scratch and sniff this.
Shame on you, Lafayette County Board of Supervisors. How embarrassing for the Oxford/University community. Grow up and stop trying to mandate *your* version of morality to everyone else.
