Graffiti News & Blog

This is BS.  Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) recently canceled a course they had scheduled on Graffiti Art. Apparently some freakin’ politician (Bob Donovan) saw a pretty bad-ass street art mural if I had to judge and decided that taxpayers shouldn’t be paying to teach students how to do graffiti.

Let’s look at this in detail:

1.  Graffiti art is not illegal.  Wait?  What?  Let me repeat myself Mr. Donovan of Milwaukee.  Graffiti art is not illegal.  Vandalism is illegal.  I believe the class teaches graffiti art … not vandalism.  To assume that if you know how to graffiti, you will do it illegally is just plain dumb.  F’n politicians don’t use their heads.

2.  Art is art.  There are different styles of art.  Graffiti is a style of art.  You are telling me that teaching students about art is a burden taxpayers shouldn’t bear?  Idiot.

3.  Do you know whether the course would have highlighted the illegal nature of vandalism?  Perhaps the course would have prevented illegal graffiti.

Damn.  Politicians pander – and forget common sense.
