But other residents expressed support or indifference to the works of art, and one resident called the discussion “shocking and, honestly, the loss of all, here is time.”
“The request for removal of this doll sets a dangerous precedent that chosen officials of Chicago can dictate which works of art can be shown in our city, which is not based on whether they agree with the artist’s policy,” said the resident, according to Fox 32. “As a proud member of the Jewish community in Chicago, I invite you to spend your time actually managing our city.”
