Description of Incident: Dear File Room, A very brief description: I am enrolled in a graduate teacher certification program at a college I will leave nameless for now. After getting straight "A's" on all my work for three different classes and completing all obligations without any incidents of misconduct or inappropriate behavior I was called into the Dean's office at the end of semester and told I would not be allowed to advance further in the Program. They booted me. The reason gave was that my final paper in one of my classes was "too critical" and they didn't think I would make a good teacher. I had to observe a high school teacher and write extensively about it. I was not impressed with the teacher and critiqued him in some areas ( nothing outrageous and all true). I should mention that I already have an MFA and actually am educated enough to comment on art instruction. The other shoe: It turns out that the teacher I critiqued is very connected to the university, his father is a PHD and on the advisory board of the School of Education I was attending. ouch Question: Can I be kicked out of school just for the academic opinions I expressed in a school essay, even If I have a 4.0 and no misconduct? They've taken $3,500 of my money, 4 months of my life, countless hours of work and denied my advancement with no reason other than they didn't like my opinions in a paper. Sounds absurd! This can't be legal? Barry

Results of Incident: in progress

Description of Incident: New York-based Italian artist Federico Solmi is in trouble with the law after his work, The Evil Empire, was shown by Naples Not Gallery at the recent Arte Fiera Bologna art fair, Jan. 23-26, 2009. The project -- which was also seen at New Yorks LMAK Projects, Mar. 20-Apr. 19, 2008, coinciding with the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the city -- consists of hand-drawn animation depicting the exploits of a fictional pope in "Vatic-Anal-City," in the year 2046, wrestling with a porn addiction. It is accompanied by related objects, including one -- a crucifix featuring a self-portrait of the artist as the Pope character, with a massive, crimson-headed erection -- that apparently got him in trouble. According to reports, on the last day of the fair, a local judge named Bruno Giangiacomo got wind of the provocative art project, and ordered that it be confiscated.

Results of Incident: Catherine Thompson of LMAK reports that the artist was charged with religious offense and obscenity -- though the "religious offense" charge has since been dropped. Manuela Esposito, director of the Not Gallery, may also face charges.
