  1. 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.”

    Nowadays, even Michaelangelo's great masterpiece "David" doesn't pass muster with Florida book-banning MAGAs, who call it "pornographic." Meanwhile, the mayor of Florence says he'd like to honor the educators in question.
