The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

Macalester College, a private liberal arts college in Minnesota, recently shut down and censored an art exhibition by feminist artist Taravat Talepasand after some Muslim students were offended by it. Talepasand's works often criticized Islamic conservatism and the oppression of women under Islamist regimes. Some artworks the college claimed to have shocked and offended students' sensibilities include a risqué drawing of a woman in hijab lifting her clothes and showing her underwear and another lifting her niqab to reveal her underwear while raising the middle finger. The exhibit also featured porcelain sculptures of women in niqabs revealing their breasts. Not pleased with her artworks, some Macalester’s student body members submitted a petition demanding to shut down the exhibition, claiming that Talepasand’s works caused "deep pain" and even “perpetuated harm” against Muslims. Macalester covered the artwork with black curtains, which critics called censorship. Administrators at Macalester eventually re-opened the exhibit, albeit with less censorship. The entrance doors were taped up so that people could not see the artwork. Visitors were also shown a content warning of “upsetting or unacceptable images.”
