A one-of-its-kind art installation featuring four centuries of literary text is slated for destruction – and protesters claim the "cultural vandalism" is because it could trigger “snowflakes” at next year’s Republican National Convention, the Bulwark reports.
Marty Brooks, the president of the Wisconsin Center District which runs a publicly-funded convention center in Milwaukee, plans to tear down the permanent art display – ostensibly as part of a $456 million expansion before the GOP arrives.
The art, created by sculptor Jill Sebastian when the convention center was built in 1998 and called “Portals and Writings Celebrating Wisconsin Authors,” features work from 48 Wisconsinites and includes work by indigenous and diverse writers, the Bulwark's article entitled "Tearing down art to spare Republican snowflakes' feelings?" says.

I concur. Tearing down artwork and statues because today's sensibilities are being backwards applied is pretty asinine and should never happen in the US.

funny how there is no mention of exactly is written, just a mention of snowflakes? Until there is wording shown, this means nothing. If its just graffiti on the walls, that isn't literature or otherwise intellectual property. If its on a government building, it should be taken down as desecration.
But until they actually show what is written, I don't see any "Snowflakes" being offended. Rather the left using it as a potential trigger.
