In another First Amendment setback for Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, a federal judge Monday ordered him to stop withholding city money from the Brooklyn Museum of Art and to end an eviction proceeding he began over the controversial exhibit “Sensation.â€
U.S. District Court Judge Nina Gershon concluded that the mayor had violated the museum’s First Amendment rights by trying to punish it for exhibiting works he deemed “sick,†“disgusting†and thus unworthy of city funding.
As someone who pays taxes, I don't think government should have ANY role in financing "art" either though in my case, I wouldn't fund any of it, not just works I didn't like.
