Principal resigns after Florida students shown Michelangelo statue

One Florida parent complained Michelangelo's iconic statue amounted to pornography.

It seems that, in Florida, the art of Michelangelo is on a level with pornography.

Words fail me.

Unbelievable if true.

I would think the fact that it was a Renaissance art lesson would have given a clue but I guess the complainants were probably too dim to understand.

That the head teacher was forced to resign is shocking in the extreme.

Well you can't let people see random penises (however small). This might cause the end of the world....

Tip of the iceberg unfortunately.

THE SIMPSONS PREDICTED THIS!

Except for every other detail apart from the statue.

Didn't they also predict who might become President, in some unlikely future world?

Yeah, but just for the one term and apparently he didn't really do anything, so I don't think it counts.

It's good that fiction continues to challenge our imaginations.

What is even sadder is that there's a law saying that "On Thursday, Florida's governor moved to expand a law that banned public schools from teaching sexual education and gender identity."

Apparently learning is illegal!

How terribly sad... I've seen the originals of all three of those works and found them incredibly moving, especially David. There's just something about it (and, no, not the incredibly small penis...).

But... this is getting too political.
