A state park in Utah has moved a sculpture that depicts a Hopi clan symbol after a local "values committee" said it was offended.
The sculpture of a male flute player welcomed visitors to the Edge of the Cedars State Park for 19 years. But the "values committee" complained about the figure's male anatomy.
The park considered removing the sculpture altogether but moved it to a less visible location after another group complained about censorship.
