Nude art covered

Nevada County, Nevada has removed all art depicting nudity from an exhibit at the Rood Administrative Center. Artists are upset and fighting back.
Nevada County Supervisor Sue Horne, pointing, tells artist Irene Nicolas that it was a "slap in the face of the county" for artists to cover their paintings of nudes with "CENSORED" signs and leave them hanging in the Rood Administrative Center.
Damn straight. I see you understood the message perfectly.
In typical political two-faced fashion, Horne whines about not "[talking] about it in an adult manner." According to the article, there was no "adult discussion" with the artists before their works were summarily removed. And of course there is the ever-present claim that simply seeing a pair of breasts is going to scar the child visitors for life.
