In this image, a small child is in an art museum, obviously confused. All of the artworks have "Censored" signs on them to cover anything that could be deemed inappropriate or offensive in any way, such as a statue of a nude woman with the sign covering her chest.
This cartoon is fairly effective in conveying its meaning and provoking a reader to rethink the issue of censorship. The claim in this is that censorship is going too far, and that, if it continues on the path it currently is, everything that was once considered beautiful, culturally important, a basis for learning, something to look up to, and the interesting parts of our everyday lives are going to be the next victims of what is becoming an overly-cautious approach to our surroundings.

I love the picture you've chosen. It speaks out so much! The worst part is that it is such a major issue.
