The New York Post announced the story with this blazing headline:

And carried this explanation:

Michael Shulan, the museum’s creative director, was among staffers who considered the Tom Franklin photograph too kitschy and “rah-rah America,” according to “Battle for Ground Zero” (St. Martin’s Press) by Elizabeth Greenspan, out next month.“I really believe that the way America will look best, the way we can really do best, is to not be Americans so vigilantly and so vehemently,” Shulan said.

This is what happens when people forget how great the best of America is. Who are they trying to please by considering leaving this out? Our enemies?
