#1 I am awaiting the discovery that the painting was a 'fake' and no children were involved in it's creation.

Children involved, perhaps, in its painting; likely not in its imagery and layout. Certainly not in its political messaging.

Upon close examination, my thoughts as well. Nothing like crediting....'the children.'

#5 Ages ago, I took on a miserable part-time online job of grading elementary school student essays. Specific identification data was removed. However, there was enough information to identify them as written by fifth graders in Philadelphia.

Grading was based on spelling, grammar and structure, not content. Just as well, considering many read like a bad Spike Lee movie plot or Louis Farrakhan on a peyote bender. Others were simply heartbreaking.

I suspect this "art" has the same, albeit more technically advanced and socially impregnated origins.

#6 The painting was part of a congressional art competition
