Okay so seriously, the good people of Blanding found this statue offensive.
An anatomically correct sculpture of the humpbacked flute player Kokopelli has been moved from the front of Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum in Blanding after complaints from a local group calling itself the “Values Committee.”
Park manager Teri Paul said she planned to remove the Kokopelli sculpture from the park entirely after a group of Blanding residents threatened a protest because the sculpture has a penis.
So seriously, when are the grown ups going to take charge?

Those sculptures have been there since 1989. It took almost 20 years for the “Values Committee” ladies to notice them? Or the Datura plants (they promote drug use, ya know)?

It does kind of seem the ladies of the Values Committee have been remiss in their duties for the last almost two decades.
