What do these parents think their 6th graders are doing out in the world? Even with no internet in the house and on a phone, I would have certainly seen pictures of genitals by the 6th grade.
And I went to a very conservative school, and am typing from Florida. I know how things are here.

- saboot 4y agoWhat would make this statue inappropriate versus the bible itself?
- falcolas 4y agoA lack of modesty, I imagine. Adam and Eve had the decency to cover themselves with fig leaves at least. /s
- Kon-Peki 4y agoBusiness idea! I have a fig tree in my backyard, and will happily ship a few leaves anywhere in the country so people can tape them to marble statues. Free roll of tape with every purchase! (If the USDA wants to complain, I'll sue on religious grounds)

- dekhn 4y agoThe sculpture really represents Florence's attitude towards Rome, and would have been a powerful form of propaganda for the state.

- starkparker 4y agoCannot stress enough that moves like this have little to nothing to do with the content, or the kids. Local school bullshit like this is always parents with another axe to grind taking advantage of every possible tool at their disposal. Doesn't matter if it's a Latin-teaching classical Christian conservative school in Florida or an autonomous Montessori in Berkeley run by nudists - if a parent gets offended by an administrator, blood's in the water. The principal wasn't politically left of the parents. She's an evangelical Christian whose previous job was at Christ Classical, which "integrates all subjects to develop a biblical worldview for every area of life" and follows a similar curriculum. At this school she'd been promoted into the role that she quit; it's 'advised by Hillsdale College, which has raised money by pushing back on what the institution describes as “leftist” academics teaching a “biased and distorted” view of U.S. history'. Everybody knows exactly what they're doing here, and it has nothing to do with students seeing a statue's cock and balls, or parental consent, or much of anything at all. One or more parents didn't like the principal for <insert any reason, valid or stupid, here>, they found the first thing they could use to punt her, and they wrapped their hands around its length and girth as tight as they could and then swung it at her until she left.
- brucethemoose2 4y agoRight... I forgot about all that pettiness, and I have definitelty seen teachers booted out for less over some personal feud.
