But, I suspect there is a lot more than just sharing this picture. (And, the David I saw was in a building--I think that is a replica in the picture?)

Is there something shameful about the human body that a simple non-provocative image of it is alarming for 11 and 12 year olds, who presumably have bodies of their own, to see?

oh for gd's sake - you wouldn't let kids see DAVID?!

i really feel for kids being raised now. you're allowed no independence, your parents want to keep you locked in a closet so you don't accidentally witness some great art that also contemplates the human condition. no books, because those are too dangerous. the whole world having a panic attack that you're going to be ruined if you discover that gay people exist.

I was scrolling thorough one of those "these pictures are amazing" things in Facebook the other day. They had things like up-close photos of bugs, plants that look like ballerinas, and what cities looked like 100 years apart. That kind of thing. Then they showed pictures of women in Afghanistan and Iraq in the 1970s. Typically dressed women walking among the streets, in their mini-skirts and go-go boots.

This is their goal folks. It's happening, and you're stupidly voting these parasites into office over and over again because of your fears elsewhere. They're coming for YOU, make no mistake about it.

Yep. We sent our military to Afghanistan to defeat terrorism but they only ended up learning the tricks of the trade instead. Then they came home and started to implement Taliban inspired control tactics within the USA.

The Bible is erotica. Ban it.

No need to ban the travel to Italy. Florida kids cant visit most museums in the US, for surely the best museums have art from the Renaissance period.

Time to ban school trips to the art museums. All we need are trips to the Ark museum!

Sure, why teach the widely accepted masterpiece from one of the widely accepted maters of renaissance sculpture

The Simpsons already did this, Florida.

Furthermore, this is at Tallahassee Classical School, a charter school that is designed to focus on a “content-rich classical education.”
