We disagree with the disciplinary prosecution of anyone for their personal work of art, no matter how offensive we find it.
Freedom of artistic expression and its courageous critique are integral elements of our liberal democracy and we do not invoke them selectively, as many of its late “supporters” do today.
We must also note, however, that the conduct of disciplinary proceedings in such cases, which may involve the duties of a school principal, is provided for by the regulations passed by the House of Representatives.
For our part, we declare our readiness to work for the correction and modernization of these regulations.
