Controversy Over Portrait of Jesus in Public School

Warner Sallman's Head of Christ is reputedly the world's most reproduced painting. I have seen it hanging in the hallways of public schools and, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Sallman used to be the guest at school assemblies where he made a gift of the painting to the school. When Royster Middle School in Chanute, Kansas removed their print of the painting, it made some residents unhappy.

Read about it here.

And watch the Today Show's report on video here.


One of my seminary profs used to call this painting "Beautiful Hair Breck Jesus."
