| |description_of_content=This mural was created as part of an arts initiative at the school, which involved workshops and seminars with students and is intended as an homage to actress Ava Gardner. The surrounding rays are a common device found in many of artist Beau Stanton's murals. Some community members were offended by the rays, which they associate with the Japanese imperialist flag, and have called for the erasure of the entire mural.

| |description_of_incident=The superintendent of a Los Angeles school district has unilaterally decided to remove a mural on display on the exterior wall of RFK Community Schools’ theater after some members of the surrounding community complained that visual elements of the mural resembled the Rising Sun flag of Imperialist Japan.
| | |

| | '''Description of Artwork:''' Movie/documentary <P> |
| | |
| | '''The Incident:''' "After a parent who supports the teaching of creationism and opposes sex education complained about the film, the Federal Way School Board on Tuesday placed what it labeled a moratorium on showing the film. The movie consists largely of a computer presentation by former Vice President Al Gore recounting scientists' findings." <P> |
| | The Board determined that "Al Gore's documentary about global warming may not be shown unless the teacher also presents an opposing view." <P> |
| | "Condoms don't belong in school, and neither does Al Gore. He's not a schoolteacher," said Frosty Hardison, a parent of seven who also said that he believes the Earth is 14,000 years old. "The information that's being presented is a very cockeyed view of what the truth is. ... The Bible says that in the end times everything will burn up, but that perspective isn't in the DVD." <P> |
| | |
| | '''Results of Incident:''' The movie may not be shown unless the teacher presents an "opposing view." <P> |
