ROME (AP) — The Florence museum housing Michelangelo’s Renaissance masterpiece the David on Sunday invited parents and students from a Florida charter school to visit after complaints about a lesson featuring the statue forced the principal to resign.

Florence Mayor Dario Nardella also tweeted an invitation for the principal to visit so he can personally honor her. Confusing art with pornography was “ridiculous,” Nardella said.

Is the David porn? Come see, Italians tell Florida parents

I'm still wondering how anyone could confuse the statue of David with porn.

In porn, the male participants (actors) are generally males who are rather well endowed.

David's junk is a bit on the small side.

...

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

...

They must get cold up there at night.

They must get cold up there at night.

I don't think so, since there are also demons in those paintings. Maybe if they felt a chill, they could ask a demon for some fire to warm up with.

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."

Would you begrudge this masterpiece being appreciated by students if he were sporting cargo pants?

Of course, the old biddies who get in a tizzy over artistic treasures merely promote what they rage against as being pornographic.

FLORENCE, Italy (AP) — Visitors flocked to see Michelangelo’s David sculpture in Florence on Tuesday, following an uproar over a Florida school’s decision to force the resignation of the principal over complaints about a lesson featuring the Renaissance masterpiece.​

"God would not have given Adam a tallywhacker
to hide if he didn't think it was filthy."​

Young children should not be shown nudity. I agree and most Americans agree that David is not pornography but it depends on who is observing it. A woman's body is also a work of art but we don't let teachers show Playboy magazines to young children.

Some, apparently, need to project prurient interest onto 6th graders viewing an artistic masterpiece.

Other might consider the depiction of a naked man being crucified inappropriate for adolescents.

Of course it should.

Children around the world learn about it a much younger age.

But all the pictures of that hide his tiny bits.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

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.

Sarcasm escapes you.

There is no biblical account of a loin cloth. It is apocryphal. According to Christian scripture, "they divided up his clothes."

Young kids don't need schools to determine they can see nudity.

Oh, I do disagree. But Christians in this country have always added clothing. Prudes will be prudish.

It is a statue. Your hang ups with nudity should not be foisted on to others.

Well, the female form is also art. So, we should let young children see Playboy magazines. After all, their pictures of nudity are tasteful and art.

So, now you are comparing one of the most famous pieces of art in history to Playboy.

Wow.

We're talking about sixth graders. They don't need schools arbitrarily deciding to show them nudity.

But YOUR views should be?
