[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are familiar with the statue of David. My youngest is in 5th grade. They didn’t hear about it in school. They first saw it on a tv program. I think the statue is famous enough that it is a pop culture reference as the “naked statue.” Shrug.

Relatedly: if everyone is fine with showing it and discussing it with middle schoolers—perhaps the biggest silly knucklehead phase of kids—then are we similarly fine with kids drawing doodles of penises (whether in a drawing of a person or a stand-alone work of art focused exclusively on that appendage) at school? Just curious.

How so?

FTR, I couldn’t care less if a 6th grade art class or history class discussed David. My kids have seen it and I bet most kids have. I similarly wouldn’t be upset if my kid drew a penis…but I they would get in trouble at school for doing that.

ICYMI: MoCo schools send home notices before certain books are read, certain videos are shown, family life instruction, etc. It’s a simple step to avoid parents from kvetching about this nonsense. Nothing would offend me, but I recognize the courtesy heads really isn’t for me…it’s for others who are more apt to be concerned or even troubled. Apparently some parents opt out of certain instruction.

With the shifting demographics in MoCo, I think we will see more situations like this. ICYMI: halloween has been cancelled at mcps in direct response to the religious beliefs of black and Hispanic immigrant families. [/quote]
