The National Coalition Against Censorship has written to the Santa Barbara Unified School District in California following news reports that Andres Serrano’s artwork “Immersion (Piss Christ)” was removed from the curriculum of a course at Dos Pueblos High School. The district removed the image because some community members found it hurtful.
NCAC urges the district to return the image to the curriculum and offer an alternative assignment for concerned students in accordance with district policy.
