David And The Sixth Graders

[Biff_Poindexter]

It's basically pushing porn to a child....she should be arrested, not just fired
How many children did she essentially sexually assault by showing them this filth?

The David statue is porn? Really? Then why was it commissioned to be displayed in a CHURCH, as well as is considered one of the premier examples of art? Please...............give us your definition of "porn", I'd be interested to hear it.

3rd time is the charm

I like the quote!

Typical response for a partisan hack who got schooled by failing to read the article YOU posted showing that normally Parents would be warned about this before the trip started but this time the letter never went out thus this happened.

De Santis has NOTHING to do with this mistake made by the school.

I am a free-thinking INDEPENDENT, not a party supporter at all.

When did Republicans turn in to such Snowflakes?

I was in Sixth Grade over 50 years ago in a mostly Republican School District.

We had a Field Trip to the NY Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. You know what we got to see?

Paintings with naked breasts.
Sculptures with naked men.
Paintings with naked children and angels

Parents were not sent “warnings”
No parent stormed the School Board screaming about Pornography

But, then again, Ron DeSantis was not our Governor. We had a Republican Governor named Rockefeller

LOL,

You are being foolish since all I did was to show the school messed up on informing parents about the details of the trip that was all I did, didn't make any judgment about the statue at all.

The rest of your post is false anyway since parents were indeed upset 50 years ago too such as lot of objections to books with pictures in them.

Your dumb partisanship is why you fail here since as your own link makes clear it was the failure of the SCHOOL to send the letter to inform parents about the trip.

To answer the question about whether or not the principal should be arrested. The reason why my answer is "no" is because if the principal is not who decides on what the curriculum consists of, why should they or any of the teachers be the one who is fired or arrested?

God bless you and them always!!!

P.S. In other words, find out whoever really makes the decision on what is to be presented to our nation's youth while they are at school and bust their chops!

You are being foolish in believing that parents need to be warned that their children will see nudes in a Classical Art class.
Republicans have turned into such Snowflakes

And no….no parents complained about Art when I went to school

Your anecdote is touching but worthless as Parents complained 50 years ago too.

Field Trips requires Parental permission to take their children off the school campus and normally leaves a short description of the trip which is what the school failed to do.

A short history of banned books​

Your ignorance of past parental objections is clear.

 

[rightwinger]

For crying out loud, when it was originally commissioned, it was displayed in a CHURCH! It's also considered on of the great works of art of the world.

What next? Put an NC-17 rating on tours through the Sistine Chapel because there are naked people in the ceiling?

No wonder the rest of the world thinks that Americans are a bunch of puritanical prudes with a stick up their ass.

In the 16th century, Nuns were allowed to see this piece of Art

Todays Republicans demand a note from your parents

You are correct
We needed a permission slip to visit the Art Museum in NYC.

There were no parental warnings that we may encounter Boobies and Pee Pees in an Art Museum
Yes, we giggled but there was no serious harm

Any person knows that the majority of Greek religious art is nude, because the Greeks were infamous pedophiles....so why would they allow children to see something like this? At least this principal will be fired and I believe she should be charged with sexual abuse of a minor or something nefarious sounding like that....

Wow..................there is just so much wrong with this paragraph..............

First off, David was a CHRISTIAN figure, not a Greek one. So no, it's not "Greek religious art", it's CHRISTIAN religious art. And, it was prominently displayed when it was first created in a CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

Second.................it was sculpted by Michelangelo, who was ITALIAN, not Greek.

As far as the Greeks being pedophiles, got anything to back up your bullshit? By the way, you should know that in slang language concerning sex, "Greek" refers to anal sex, meaning homosexuality, not pedophilia.

Really? You think that the principal should be charged with sexual abuse of a minor? How far did you have to stretch to grasp at that straw?

Apparently, you know nothing of art, Greek culture, Italian culture, or even what pedophilia really is. Must really suck to be as ignorant as you appear to be.

 

[rightwinger]

First off, David was a CHRISTIAN figure

David was Jewish
You can tell in the sculpture because he is circumcised

 

[Dogmaphobe]

To get all freaked out over the statute of David just plays into the hands of groomers on the left who want to expose the children to underage gay pornography.

It allows them to say "look at what people are getting all worked up about" as they equate the reaction to actual porn to this reaction against art.

Should Michelangelo's famous classical sculpture David be viewed in sixth grade class? I say no. There is no need for this. There are many other famous artworks other than this that can be presented to children that young. It should be a parent's decision and it should not happen in school at this age. This is just another form of subtle indoctrination by the left, who will stop at nothing to sexualize children.

Florida Principal Out After Viewing Of Michelangelo's 'David' Upsets Parents

One parent reportedly called the masterpiece "pornographic."

Nudity, in and of itself, is not necessarily sexual or pornographic, and in fact, figures greatly in a lot of important classical artworks.

But given the degree to which our culture tends to associate nudity with sexuality, there is always a danger, of being perceived as approaching or crossing the line into sexualized content, and especially, if you get children involved, there is certainly a danger of creating the appearance of approaching or crossing lines that absolutely should not be approached.

It is not apparent to me, here that there was any intent to sexualize children, or to expose them to sexually-inappropriate material, but I think that very poor judgement was exercised here.

I do not see the sculpture in question as being pornographic, but I can certainly see plenty of room for parents to regard it as inappropriate material to which to expose their children. and certainly as material to which no child should be exposed without first obtaining informed consent from the parents. It's probably best not to do so, even with parental consent.

I can also see how even legitimate artwork incorporating nudity could be used to sexually groom children in a very inappropriate way. It's not difficult imagining some creepy old man showing this statue to a child, and once the child is convinced to appreciate the artistic value therein, t's not a small step from that to the pedophile convincing the child that there's nothing wrong with the pedophile flashing his own genitalia to the child, or convincing the child to expose his./her genitalia to the pedophile.

Given how he has supported the pedophiles, groomers, and related filth in other contexts, I think that Biff was trying, here, to be sarcastic.

But as a matter of fact, the ancient Greek culture did consider pedophilia to be acceptable, even institutionalized it. That “Greek” sex often was between grown men and young boys. The word “pederasty” is of Greek derivation, and referred to this practice as it occurred in ancient Greece.

So in your twisted mind…….Classical Art leads to Pedophilia

I can see why Conservatives fear it

It kind of goes both ways. A decade or two ago, this probably wouldn't have been a big deal.

In recent years, as the public has become much more aware of the faggot/tranny/pedophile agenda, and how far they have gone in pushing it in public schools, the public is going to be more hypersensitized to anything that has an appearance thereof.

Even though the statue of David is not generally regarded as pornographic, in the context of a public already alarmed by the sexual grooming of children that has been show to be taking place, this just looks like it is getting too close to that.

This is all about children - sixth graders.
