Back in the 90's there was a student exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago. One of the kids had this display where the only way into it was through a narrow passage with an American flag on the floor you had to walk on to get in. It was quite a kerfuffle. Some idiots were screaming that the entire Art Institute should be shut down. A local art critic's response was, "Look, if you don't like it, don't go. But this is the United States of America, not the United States of Good Taste."
