Simpsons already did it

Florida Principal Ousted After Parents Melt Down Over Michelangelo’s ‘Pornographic’ Statue of David

I was kind of amused by the way a certain long-running TV cartoon show was described as predicting the Trump presidency, but then THIS happened:

A Florida charter school principal has been ousted after multiple parents complained that their sixth graders were made to view pornography—because they looked at Michelangelo’s iconic statue of David.
The statue was shown during a sixth grade art history lesson at Tallahassee Classical School, the Tallahassee Democrat first reported. One of the most famous pieces of artwork in the world, the statue shows a chiseled, naked man posing. But while most of the world sees it as art, some parents deemed it “pornographic” and said it “upset” their children.
Parents at Tallahassee Classical now want to take an advanced vote on any lesson their kids could be subjected to that’s deemed “controversial,” part of a growing nationwide trend to dictate education supported by Florida’s own education board and the DeSantis administration.

Of course, this is the only funny thing about this story; apparently the school usually sends letters to idiots parents when they’re teaching art history that may involve practical but evil parts of the body, but somehow that didn’t happen this and little Johnny got exposed to Dave’s Johnny, and now this poor woman is out of a job and Ron deScumbag’s creeping Florida fascism continues to be on the march thanks to a clerical error. And given how much art does involve naughty bits, I wouldn’t be surprised if these concerned parents decide to just remove all of it from the curriculum just in case…
