ACLU of MN urges Bemidji to reverse its censorship

For Immediate Release
July 6, 2010

The American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota sent a letter on July 6, to the City of Bemidji today urging them to end their censorship of public works of art.

Currently there are multiple beaver statues on display on public sidewalks around the City of Bemidji for the public to view (similar to Peanuts on Parade in St. Paul). One statue has been removed from public display because the City Manager subjectively deemed the work to be pornographic.

You can see a photograph of the statue here.

You can also read the Letter to City of Bemidji.
