The naked truth: A history of art censorship
Tells how all though history art has been censored weather it be because it has nudity, political and religion. Religion seems to be a key theme emerging within censorship.
"The ongoing shock of the nude
Centuries after Michelangelo’s figures were forcibly clothed, nudity continued to shock the public, with new styles of production and differing approaches to the figure perpetuating the idea of the body as a battle ground."

"After all, if you demand the censorship of what you consider 'unacceptable' today... you leave yourself open for views / opinions that you cherish ending up deemed 'unacceptable' tomorrow."
Thomas Jefferson's statement is powerful. We should all repeat it a few times when censorship is placed on the table: "I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as a cause for withdrawing from a friend."
