Vail cancels residency program for Native American artist over painting referencing Gaza (coloradosun.com)

The town reached out to Danielle SeeWalker in early January to offer the Lakota painter and muralist a studio and stipend, but backpedaled after residents complained about the politics of one of her paintings after it was posted to her Instagram....

    ‘Counterprotesters’ implies they were protesting, how bout you try ‘Zionist thugs’ next time, nyt? And maybe instead of ‘provoked violence’, try out ‘terrorized’ or ‘violently attacked’. Take that out for a spin, give it a whirl

    I thoroughly appreciate everyone’s responses. In hindsight, I probably could have put the question in clearer context to avoid sounding like I was just trying to cherry-pick justifications for involuntarily committing someone without the legitimate grounds to do so (and it’s become ever more clear that this is a deeper philosophical question about how much control we should have over a person’s autonomy when they display signs of extreme mental distress). Ultimately, I share the same concerns that many of you have about how this could be misused to hold someone against their will when a third party deems their life isn’t “normal”. There are of course people in our society that would like to use such allowances to involuntarily treat people who are NOT suffering from a mental illness but fit some categorization they deem as “abnormal” -or- treat people who are suffering from a mental illness but are content with their lives (sorry, I’m sure there’s a clearer way to phrase this but I’m struggling how to elucidate it; hopefully this is clear enough).

    I was mainly curious to hear of other peoples experiences, what the outcomes have been, how things could be improved, i.e. get a better understanding of how it works, NOT try and use it as a justification. And I hope anyone that reads through this thread takes extreme care and consideration with this stuff, since it is such an extreme course of action to take.

    I’m admittedly a bit worried that this post might make people feel targeted themselves or feel unsafe in someway, which was definitely not my intention.
