Posted on 09:00 by john mical
The conservative legal defense group, Pacific Justice Institute has demanded that art in an exhibit in a California library be removed. The mixed-media art is titled "Moral Values" and is part of a 63-piece exhibit that opened in the Sacramento County Public Law Library last month.
