It angers me to see that as we are teaching kids to think and express themselves that something like this on a topic that is so important to everyone is being treated as so!

This is a disgrace, and the fact that anyone would look at this as promoting eroticism or deviance is disgusting. Further, anyone who is arguing that "religious beliefs" are being attacked needs to ask themselves whether a religion that condones or turns a blind eye to this issue is one worth showing consideration for.

Kudos for young girls for speaking up against social issues such as rape and non-consensual sex.
Stop the madness.

By removing this artwork from display, the school is sending the message that they do not agree with the sentiments of the piece. Do we really want to tell young women that their decisions are NOT their choice, that "my body, my rules" isn't a concept that will be respected in this school? Disturbing.

It is an art project that brings a social issue to the front. Your students cannot become free thinkers when they are under consent censorship. It only offends people with closed minds.

No matter how uncomfortable we might be about talking about this with our children, they need to know. This needs to be back on display at Wagner High School

French artist Edgar Degas said, "Art is not what you see but what you make others see." Great work students for upholding the essence of art and the first amendment to boot!

I'm a mother of three and a grandmother of 7 girls. I don't see what is so wrong. I think it's a great picture. Your not seeing any personal parts of the body. I think students should be aware and this is a great way to show it. I think they should print this picture and put it on bill boards.

This is an outrage, it's beautiful art with an eaqually beautiful message. It's impervious that kids in their tender teenage years to understand the concept of rape awareness. Let's be grown ups about this, and have a grown up conversation about rape awareness instead of denying the fact that all people are born with bare backs, give me a break.

ENOUGH WITH THE CENSORSHIP!!! You are a school! You should be ashamed to be teaching censorship! Rape is an important subject. A recent study showed 85% of 16 y/o males and 65% of girls the same age believe that rape is ok under certain circumstances. UNEXCEPTABLE!

We have become to politically correct in this country. We have millions of people that believe in something and one person comes along and because it offends him, we listen to the one rather than the majority - what a real shame, what has this nation become .
God bless America.
