The Globe is reporting that Brandeis University has pulled an exhibit of artwork made by Palestinian youths about the Israel-Palestinian conflict because it lacked "balance":

A bulldozer menaces a girl with ebony pigtails, who lies in a pool of blood. A boy with an amputated leg balances on a crutch, in a tent city with a Palestinian flag. A dove, dripping blood, perches against blue barbed wire.
Palestinian teenagers painted those images at the request of an Israeli Jewish student at Brandeis University, who said she wanted to use the art to bring the Palestinian viewpoint to campus. But university officials removed the paintings four days into a two-week exhibition in the Brandeis library.

Apparantly, the university cannot support the freedom of expression of these little kids who have witnessed things no human should have to see. Fuckin' sucks to get your nose rubbed in the shit, huh?
