At our high school last year the art club painted a mural on the wall of one of the Spanish teachers class room. This mural among other things had a stylized picture of Che Guevara prominently displayed in the middle. I know this because a picture of it was published in the school's news paper. Conserv-teen, after I explained who Che was, talked to said teacher (who is also one of his Uncle's friends, dated Red-neck niece and is the track coach) and he either didn't understand or didn't care that he had a homicidal communist revolutionary painted on his wall. I feel the need to talk to him myself and explain that I don't think having a blood thirsty mass murderer glorified on the wall of a small Wyoming high school is the message we should be putting out there for our kids. There are other South Americans that rate being stylized and painted on walls of high schools who more closely match what our values and ideals are and I hope I can persuade him to fix what I consider a very offensive painting.

Wow, seriously? Red-neck niece and I refuse to claim him.
Good Luck. Parents sometimes have a better chance than the student.
It is too bad that the schools can't put up paintings of Washington or any other president. They can't allow any mention of God or religion, but a student paints a picture of a Communist Revolutionary, and it is placed in the halls. This in an LDS area. Shocking!!!
