Supervisor objects to Milwaukee County bus art ads

August 13, 2019 By WRN Contributor

County Board Supervisor Dan Sebring says student artwork on Milwaukee County Transit System busses sends an anti law-enforcement message. He wants images depicting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arresting children removed immediately.

“The racist, anti-law enforcement messages contained in the Milwaukee Art Museum’s paid ad on a county bus is an offensive abomination and a slap in the face to law enforcement officers and officials at every level. We cannot allow a county bus to be decorated with advertising that includes a “how-to” guide for illegal immigrants to evade law enforcement. MCTS should remove this so-called “art” immediately,”

But transit system spokeswoman Kristina Hoffman says the artwork will stay up for six weeks. “Art is about freedom of expression, and clearly this is a topic that’s on the mind of these youth who developed this artwork.”

The ad was designed by young people from Milwaukee, and chosen by the Milwaukee Art Museum.
