New Hampshire bakery fights town in freedom of speech case regarding student-drawn mural
Fox News
A mural on the wall of a roadside bakery in Conway, New Hampshire, has sparked a debate. A town zoning board has asked the bakery to remove the student-drawn mural.
Then the town zoning board got involved, deciding that the pastry painting was not so much art as advertising, and so could not remain as is because of its size. Faced with modifying or removing the mural, or possibly dealing with fines and criminal charges, Young sued, saying the town is violating his freedom of speech rights.
The painting could stay right where it is if it showed actual mountains, instead of pastries suggesting mountains, or if the building wasn’t a bakery.
"They said it would be art elsewhere," Young told The Associated Press in an interview. "It’s just not art here."
