(CNSNews.com) – A statue that passed muster 21 years ago when it was
installed in the fountain of a Santa Fe, New Mexico city park is now being
altered to remove a squirt gun from the little boy’s hand.
In comments made Wednesday, sculptor Linda Strong said she agrees with those
who are now criticizing her statue as politically incorrect. She said
changing the statue is “just a little bit that I can do in my part of the
world to help make a statement.”
