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
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.
Wasn’t this whole Statue of David thing a #simpsons episode- and an early one at that?

My new "Florida Approved" #StatueOfDavid:
This is ludicrous and hilarious, but it is dangerous to dismiss this bullshit out of hand. This is what elementary and secondary education is.
