Those who deface CTA property are not artists, they are criminals. What their punishment should be is debatable; that they must be punished is not.

Rewarding their crime with a scholarship to study art is like rewarding a drug dealer with a scholarship to study medicine.

The supposed ”artistic merit” of this vandalism is irrelevant. It is as irrelevant as the ”athletic merit” of Greg Maddux if he were to throw baseballs at house windows instead of home plate.
