If you like "A Modest Proposal" you will love this.  

Despite the obvious and sacrilegious humor, it does have museum
implications, since it deals with the idea of whether public
institutions have a duty to be responsive to (and therefore act to
legitimize) pop-culture trends or religious beliefs simply because their
audience wants them to.  Can/should the museum pick and choose?  Who
decides where the line is between reasonable and outrageous? Board?
Staff? Culture? Scientists? Scholars? Whoever screams the loudest?  What
about context?
