Tax Dollars at Work: Statue of Bare-Breasted Woman Sexting Causes Uproar in Kansas City (Video)

Kansas City residents were outraged after a statue of a bare-breasted woman sexting was erected in an Overland Park Arboretum.
Local residents are upset that the statue was placed in a public park in sight of children and families.
Joe Miller reported:
A bronze statue of a young topless woman who appears to be taking a sexting-style picture of herself has caused outrage in a Kansas City Park.
The bare breasted, headless female figure in Overland Park Arboretum is pointing a camera at herself and the American Family Association of Kansas and Missouri has said that it is obscene and promotes sexting in a venue where families take children.
This week the group collected 4,700 signatures, 1,000 more than is needed to compel a judge in Johnson County to convene a grand jury to investigate whether the work ‘Accept and Reject’ by Chinese sculptor Yu Chang is unacceptable.
In June, local resident and mother Joanne Hughes started a campaign to have the statue removed out of the sight of children and was joined in her efforts by the conservative American Family Asssociation soon after.

I am not sure where it became fashionable to trout out nakedness and texting all in one fail swoop. But we have become (at times) too liberal.
and one day, OH, THAT DAY IS NOW, we are feeling the pain for our actions.
It is when it will catch up to us, IT IS WHEN ARE WE FINALLY GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
What comes to mind is: WWJD
Patty commented:
IT ISN’T WHEN IT WILL CATCH UP TO US. CORRECTION.
Patty commented:
Obviously this came from the Democratic “GODLESS” PARTY.
coolidgerules commented:
Elected officials have no shame. Of all the things that could be displayed, this is it? Cities and counties all over this country have to remove/cover the ten commandments.
These people know what they are doing. It’s as if they’re setting the table for the coronation in Nov. or they’re trashing the place on the way out for not capitulating to their demands.
Tammy commented:
SO damn liberal…anything with the word “erect” to pacify the left.
How did it get there in the FIRST place, and who wasn’t minding the store when it WAS “erected”?
stonedome commented:
you get what you elect…narcissist laden society.
Capitalist Infidel commented:
Who the hell thought this was a good idea?
Patty commented:
“Here in the U.S. in a six year period, we’ve had 16,000 deaths, approximately 16,000 deaths, directely attributed to texting and driving, in some manner.”
Now, not just nakedness but remember on the texting side of things. Parents who see this and eyes go to texting. How sad if one of their children were killed while texting and driving.
Sarah commented:
The result of a society where the left has chipped steadily away at our core values.

If we were the majority, Romney would win! We must have morals, we can let morals slip away.
Gvik commented:
How the hell did this thing get put up in the first place? You have got to be kidding me. It’s one thing if it was in a private collection or gallery. But in a public park? Seriously, what on Earth were these people thinking?
AE commented:
Nudge. Shark bump. Slide the Overton window a bit more.
SD Tom commented:
Here is a much better view of the statue in a large photograph.
It is a merely a statue erected in a public park by ‘Community Leaders’ and since it is a public park where children and families play and picnic — it is definitely not NSFC, NSFF, and NSFW. Right?
Or is it?

vulgar
chuck in st paul commented:
More infantilism on the part of putative “adults”. Children are always pushing the boundaries to see what they can and cannot get away with and to reaffirm those boundaries. Enter the progressive.
Ghost commented:
STOP! asking questions that graceful people ask and STOP! reacting defensively, as in, “How could this happen?”, “Who thought this was a good idea?… y’know, like decent people behave.
Coolidge⬆ is correct. Until we understand who we’re dealing with, we’ll never Restore America.

Our decent men never wanted to descend into the brutality that was WWII either, but they did what had to be done- they fired flame-throwers into those cave tunnels, didn’t they? and you’ve lived a wonderful life of peace and prosperity ever since, haven’t you?
We today must do what has to be done, We must CRUSH these Leftist bastards in every confrontation, in every battle, in every way, and NEVER feel guilty about it.
unless of course, you want more of this —-, cuz ya’ know this never stops- ‘Jokers’ are relentless and there’s always new and more exciting ways to destroy a decent society
specifically in this case, endure their demonic taunts about self-righteous, pious prudishness and prosecute the deviants in a showy trial, complete with public shame- perp walk and pillory.
DO IT!
aside: what got me was that the statue is headless. it is exactly that mixing of violence and eroticism that is MOST destructive. you folks in KC… you gotta bomb them for this effrontery.
at least, attach a picture of Hillary, Michelle O, or, Barbara Mikulski –
yeah, play dirty if you hafta ( I wish I was nearby )

Wait, wasn’t this the “Anthony Wiener Memorial Statue?”
