Painting of Captain America Holding President Trump’s Severed Head Displayed Proudly at University

Is President Trump just ‘a head’ of his time? That might be what a professor at the University of Alaska was attempting to make a statement about when he created a piece of art recently that incorporated more than a bit of shockingly violent imagery. In this segment from Fox’s America’s Newsroom, anchor Bill Hemmer invites both Townhall.com editor Katie Pavlich and Democratic strategist Jessica Ehrlich to discuss their takes on what the professor created.

On one side of the debate, Pavlich says the professor’s artwork went a little too far, even if free speech rights guaranteed by the Constitution’s First Amendment technically allow someone to paint or make whatever they want. Taking the opposite view, Ehrlich argues that the professor’s art is merely “creative expression” and a form of “therapy” that many people also engage in.

Of course, when you’re talking about someone depicting a decapitation, observers’ eyebrows tend to rise and tongues start to wag. And when the person being depicted is the President of the United States, it might then be considered proper to inform someone in the FBI and/or the Secret Service about such activities.

While it’s true that our laws make parody and satire (such as the violent cartoon depiction of Islam’s Mohammed) legal, questions of taste and propriety arise when you’re talking about a creator who’s entrusted to teach some of our brightest young minds.

Watch as the two guests on this Fox News segment make their points, while at the same time, remind viewers of why they may not want to send their children to the same fine academic institution where this professor teaches classes.
