Shock! Horror!: Response
The pieces these artists create are made to be controversial, it is the artists' imagination being shown to the world. They are expressing themselves to the public in shocking ways to bring attention to the subject matter presented. To me, these pieces are considered art just like Andy Warhol's work is considered art. They should not be alienated because of the content of the piece, or because one person is offended. If one person is offended and decide is not worth supporting with public funds then why not remove all artwork containing Jesus or any other religious works of art.

This is a good point because everyone is libel to be offended by someone- but your post needs more here maybe you could find a specific example of this (an artist or work of art that maybe people would not expect to be controversial) to help your thesis.
