This Country is well on its way to self-destruction. There will always be people upset with or offended by some things, and it seems like there are plenty of people willing to "help" them, mostly for political reasons.

If that principal had some balls, he/she would have told those complaining parents that if they are too f***ing dumb to tell art from porn, maybe they should go back to school themselves. But he/she decided to be politically correct instead, like they always do.

I think it's time for a good old fashioned book burning..

I think we should start with the National Geographic's in the library. I remember seeing last month, a drawing of sex organ's..

Sounds fishy! Sounds like the administration finally found a thread to hang her with! Isn' she tenured??? I read the article, but they did not metnioned tenure. I guess I better white-out ALL the "suggestive" nudity from the biology text-books!:rolleyes:

Also, wasn't there a Simpson's episode about this.

The statue of David was coming to Springfield and the community thought it was obscene.. It's a mad mad world we live in..

One of my Fave quotes and, fairly fitting of that

"America is awash in selective piety, situational moralists and
cherry-picking absolutionists."

Rock on.

It never ceases to amaze me. We should change our SLOGAN from "the land of the free" to the "land of the banned". Again, as is much in the life of a child, the parents assume no culpability. When sending your child on a field trip, whether it be to an Art museum or other institute, if you have a bias towards a certain item (in this case a nude sculpture or painting) maybe you as the parent should disallow your child on the trip? I would certainly assume that if my child was going to an art museum there was a good chance of seeing a rendition of a nude form.
