If there is a problem distinguishing between historic art and pornography - I suggest we have a problem, America.
The Tallahassee Classical School has been showing 6th-grade students a picture of Michelangelo's "David” statue - but this year two families complained about not being warned ahead of time so that they could remove their children from class; one family said the statue was pornographic. The statue shows David completely nude, complete with male genitalia.
The school has a rule that parents will be warned if any controversial material is used in class and the principal assumed a letter went out to parents - but it was never sent.
The bigger issue is that there should have been nothing alarming about the picture to warrant a warning letter in the first place. What have we become?
Here is part of the conversation about how the controversy over the "David" statue indicates a new low in paranoia in America. We have real problems in this country - and one of the problems is the "Prude Patrol" looking for sex in all the wrong places!
