From the article:
A Michigan college has ended its partnership with a Florida charter school whose principal was forced to resign after a parent complained that sixth graders were exposed to "pornography" during a lesson on Renaissance art that included the Michelangelo sculpture "David."
A Hillsdale College spokesperson said Tallahassee Classical School is no longer affiliated with the Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan, MLive.com reported Thursday.
“This drama around teaching Michelangelo’s ‘David’ sculpture, one of the most important works of art in existence, has become a distraction from, and a parody of, the actual aims of classical education," the college's Emily Stack Davis wrote in a statement. “Of course, Hillsdale’s K-12 art curriculum includes Michelangelo’s ‘David’ and other works of art that depict the human form.”

Well, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to invite some of these precious parents who see porn everywhere #museum #michelangelo #statueofdavid
Tallahassee Classical School pressured Principal Hope Carrasquilla to resign last week after an image of the David was show to a sixth-grade art class. The school has a policy requiring parents to be notified in advance about "controversial" topics being taught.
I don't understand why #Republicans from #Florida are upset with the nudity of an iconic #Renaissance statue. Have they looked at a map lately? Florida looks like #America's penis.
