So I attend school at Westminster College in Salt Lake City UT, and I
am in an art class with the biggest joke of a teacher at the head of
it. Not only does she vaguely resemble one of the ogres from the
Tolkien series, but she is completely and utterly incompetent at
anything involving anything, but that is beside the point. We were
recently assigned a self portrait project and me being the
"thug"/slacker I am, decided to draw mine with a bandanna on my face,
and thinking that it was appropriately "G" looking wrote "Thug Life" in
the corner of my drawing. It actually turned out pretty good and I was
stoked to finally get a good grade on one of my stupid art projects.
When she handed them back, I was dismayed to see that I had only
received a 17 out of 25 on my real life masterpiece. When I confronted
her after class, her explanation for my low score, was being blatantly
offensive through my artwork. She asked me if "Thug Life" was the name
of a song by "2 Pac or some rap gangster", and when I stated that it
was a joke and I actually did not think I was a "Gangster", she told me
that that was no excuse, and that displaying signs of gang affiliation
was extremely offensive to the other students in the class. I looked at
her in confused manner, but she just gazed back with the usual
dumbfounded dull look that usually resides on her face. I have no idea
how she managed to think rationally that my drawing was offensive in any
way, and even if it was at all justifiable, its art for Christ sake,
its for expressing yourself...
So she told me I can erase the thug life and bandanna and get the full
points, but I am considering just blowing her off. Thoughts?
