Yale to cancel exhibit unless student says it's fictional

Yale University has threatened to pull a senior student's controversial 'abortion art' project from an exhibition Tuesday unless she admits she lied about artificially inseminating herself and inducing miscarriages to produce the piece.

The Ivy League school stood by its claim Monday that Aliza Shvarts fabricated a shocking work of 'creative fiction' in detailing how she constructed her senior art project.

'In this case, we will not permit her to install the project unless she submits a clear and unambiguous written statement that her installation is a work of fiction: that she did not try to inseminate herself and induce miscarriages, and that no human blood will be physically displayed in her installation,' Yale College Dean Peter Salovey said in a statement released Monday.

Why does anyone question Total Depravity?

There are several disturbing examples of total depravity here; a school OK with a faked idea of evil acts, a student contriving the evil acts, or the one to look on it and decide to do it without the fabrication.
