More Comments on Stupid Art Projects and the People Who Do Them

Just about every article on the web on this subject is filled with comments from the general public.  In the previous post, I referenced some at the NY Times.  After that post, though, I went and read the comments on the Yale Daily News article, "Shvarts, Yale clash over project".  Interesting reading.  Here's the winner quote of the day, though:
So in an entirely unsurprising turn of events, the University has lied, betrayed one of its students in return for better press, and failed to defend free speech.

Aliza Shvartz, on the other hand, had the moral courage to tell the truth from the beginning, stick to her story when the going got bad, and know the difference between fiction, art, and honesty thoughout.
Apparently, Ms. Shvartz is an icon of integrity, one whose example should be taught and shared with others. Shoot, if I could only remember that verse of Scripture that pertains to such a statement... Oh well.
