[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Principal was told to resign or get fired for allowing the showing a picture of the statute of David. Apparently the class was classical art taught to middle schoolers. It's Tallahassee which is a blue section of the state.

This is yet another story where it is best to wait a few days before getting outraged.  Seems as if there were other instances that played into the principal's firing.
And, the issue wasn't that she showed the Statue of David.  It was about parent notification.

[quote]"My board chair has not been happy with me," she told CNN, adding that she did not always follow every policy and procedure.
Agreeing with Carrasquilla's assessment, Bishop told CNN that over time it had become evident the school needed to go in a different direction and with different leadership, and he had expressed that to her on many occasions.
"She was not let go because of Michelangelo's David lesson," he said.

"Our school is two and a half years old. Every year we show that picture in the Renaissance Art class taught to our sixth graders," he added. The problem that arose in this instance was that the procedure for notifying parents of the upcoming lesson was not followed, according to Bishop.
"We aren't trying to ban the picture," he said, referring to the statue of David. "We think it's beautiful, but we are going to make sure the concept of parental rights is supreme in Florida and at our charter school," he added.

"It does not mean that parents are telling us what we are going to teach their children. We are going to make sure that parents specifically know what we are going to show their kids, what we are going to talk to their kids about and any keywords that might be a triggering event. This gives parents the opportunity to say, 'Wait a minute. My child isn't old enough to hear that,'" he added.
Bishop and Carrasquilla agree this was the step that was missed regarding the lesson on the 500-year-old sculpture.
Bishop said about 97% of the sixth-grade parents were fine with the lesson, but the school did receive complaints from others.[/quote]

Sorry but the notion that you have to notify parents of 6th graders that their child is going to see a picture of Michelangelo’s David is insane.

There is nothing inherently wrong or dirty about the human body. [/quote]

Agreed.

But even the most liberal school districts like Montgomery County, MD have a parental notification policy for all sorts of books, videos, etc.

Did you know that? Are you similarly upset about the mcps notification protocol? [/quote]

Because of the hysterical RWNJ whiners. [/quote]

You sound like a hysterical conspiracy theorist.

Who invented slavery? Who launched WWI? It was RWNJ whiners of course!![/quote]

Who used to be the party of new england and mid atlantic cities? Thanks to Nixon, the modern parties have flipped. Hearing anyone tout Lincoln as a great republican shows that they are either disingenuous or have the most surface level understanding of American history possible [/quote]
