As an American citizen (whose family has lived in the U.S. for two centuries), I find this kind of censorship of any children`s art appalling. The Oakland Museum Of Children`s Art is also ignoring the honest conservatives, moderates, progressives, liberals, and the Left (including within the Jewish community - both here in the U.S. and in Israel), by canceling the exhibition of drawings by Palestinian children. - Martin A.
