Treason of Arts Act

The Treason of Arts Bill was submitted to the 115th Congress by Congresswoman Kelly Roberts during August, 2015 as a reaction to growing resistance and public defacement of governmental communication.

In September, the United States declared war on a foreign nation. During this time of war, support grew for those who were publicly opposed to artists and intellectuals who would undermine the war effort.

The Treason of Arts Bill was successfully passed on October 23rd, 2015. A committee was quickly formed after the passing of the act and began sifting through high-profile media to either probate or outright ban. ProtoZoa's Cancer was the first piece of art officially banned under the Act on October 13, 2015 due to its inflamitory nature.
