The plan boosts depth and flexibility but draws concern over isolation and workload. Supporters cite higher attendance and closer student–teacher contact, while critics worry about fragmentation and continuity.

David Silvette, a Virginia artist acting as his own attorney, challenges the Virginia State Art Commission’s power to alter or reject his works. He cites Jeffersonian precedents and argues censorship harms creativity, noting rulings that prevent forced alterations. Eight portraits hang in the state Capitol and a Fitzgerald portrait is in the National Portrait Gallery.
