The Tallahassee Classical School has been showing 6th-grade students a picture of Michelangelo's "David” statue - but this year two families complained about not being warned ahead of time so that they could remove their children from class; one family said the statue was pornographic. The statue shows David completely nude, complete with male genitalia.
The school has a rule that parents will be warned if any controversial material is used in class and the principal assumed a letter went out to parents - but it was never sent.
The bigger issue is that there should have been nothing alarming about the picture to warrant a warning letter in the first place. What have we become?

Michelangelo is the foundation of art.
phart can't understand the difference between the Ronald McDonald plastic statue and Michelangelo's David. In fact, he probably has the former decorate his yard (along with pink flamingoes, dwarves and Trump's ass).
Art of that type has no practical value.What can it do? It can't talk,it can't function.Somebody just beat on a rock until they made a naked man.
A person not of the art knowledge would just walk up to it and see a marble naked man taking up space. Kinda like a democrat.
Is there art that does have practical value?
Most people think that art has value, because there are more things to life than just working, consuming and procreating. But you could say that art has the practical value of improving creativity and skills, which can be used to create the things that you might think have practical value. And maybe you think it has practical value when an assortment of art creates tourism and commerce in an area.
You must agree with some value besides practical value. Why else would you like an American made muscle car, with a big V8 in it? It has no more practice value to get you from A to B, than a cheaper, more dependable car, that consumes a quarter of the fuel. That looks like you also understand something like emotional value.
Art is a symbol for the advancement of humanity. We are capable of making beautiful things and enjoying it. However, often the value of those things are not represented by it's beauty, but by it's rarity, by its historical significance or by the historical significance of its maker or by the historical significance of what or who it represents.
That results in a work of art not just having practical value, monetary value, emotional value or historical value, but also ethical value. If a statue depicts a person who is known for improving humanity, we honor the person, by proudly displaying the statue. If a statue depicts a person who has committed crimes against humanity, we do not want to honor the person, by proudly displaying the statue. That statue is still kept for progeny, because of its historical value, but it get displayed in a less conspicuous place, with a plaque explaining the historical significance of the person in their time period.
That mess that supposedly honored MLK that was released a couple months ago,supposedly wrapped arms, looks hideous,even MLK's daughter said so. But it was somehow worth 10 million dollars. that is the kind of thing I am looking at.
To adults that are learned about art, it may have some meaning or value.

The earliest paintings found on French caves dates back to just older than 30,000 BC. For the next 32,000 years, mankind has created art pieces by the billions and the public has enjoyed it or, at the very least, reacted to it. Humanity prefers and demands that beauty be part of our lives. Monet, Cezanne, Toulouse-Lautrec, Matisse, Gaugan, Van Gogh, Picasso, Pollock, Warhol, these are known because of the beauty of their works. But, painting or sculpting aren't the only forms of art. A good piece of music (Rapsody in Blue) or a song (I've Got You Under My Skin) or an architectural wonder (The Taj Mahal) are works of art too. And you know the best piece of art? Seeing your son or daughter for the first time. So, anyone can take a chisel and hammer and create their own "David", but few, maybe one in 400 yrs, can create a work of art like Michelangelo's David. It's for everyone, even children with the right explanation.
I'm sorry there are people who have their minds in the gutter instead of in the clouds.

I can't believe that on the 23rd yr of the start of the third Christian milenia, we, what used to be one of the most progressive countries in the world, is having book bans. And, what's more, I can't believe people are not more outraged by this Nazi-like attitude of the local governments. If we weren't the laughing stock of the world before, we must be one now. Can anyone imagine, us, the policemen of the world, showing our faces again in international politics?😢
Let's see what the in-resident reactionary far-right wing guy will say to justify book banning.... lol
This entire new york circus is only happening to cause trouble for Trump,nothing else, BUT it may very well back fire.
The Turkish Parliament cast the last vote needed for Finland’s entry into NATO, meaning that the alliance’s border with Russia will double. It is a diplomatic and strategic defeat for President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, who made clear when Russia invaded Ukraine that he was intent on blocking NATO’s eastward expansion.

It's been many years in coming, and, honestly, I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime. It feels right.
👍😈
On the other hand, the Turkish president is Putin's friend and a dictatorship. Human rights aren't respected in Turkey.

My Women’s Studies college education at Florida Atlantic University had a positive impact on my personal and professional life. I have used my education to benefit my community, from advancing women’s rights to combatting antisemitism and ensuring our state and others no longer invested in Iran and Sudan. I am dumbfounded to see legislation on a state level which will ban gender studies major and diversity education.
Research has shown that investing in women has a significant impact on the economy, as women are the key drivers of economic growth and development. Women’s economic empowerment leads to increased productivity, innovation and competitiveness, as well as improved social outcomes, such as better health and education. It is important for universities and other institutions to prioritize investing in women and provide them with access to education that allows all of us to learn from each other’s past, regarding where on the globe we live.

So, don't be surprised.
What you said will happen, but let the hope for justice linger on for a while.

This is the first time in US history that we see cunt whether the president's dick has been in. Amazing, isn't it?
We know that every president's dick has been in *some* pussy (all presidents have been men) but we've never seen the pussy.
Soon, we'll be able to see the president's dick too. That's the order of things, while politics and culture are being elevated to higher and higher standards.
The dumb blonde should make more money by making closeups of her cunt with captions like "the president's dick has been inside", while, perhaps, giving an indication of his size. So many people have made speculations on the latter measurement.
