SFGN's SWAPSHOP!

One of the most famous pieces of art forced a principal in Florida to resign after complaints with one parent comparing the sculpture of David to pornography.

Hope Carrasquilla showed the image of David to her sixth-grade class. Normal protocol involves a letter being sent to parents in advance. But due to “a series of miscommunications” the letter never got sent this year.

The Tallahassee Classical School board chair, Barney Bishop, had a lot to say to Huffpost regarding the school’s ideology and culture.

“Parental rights trump everything else,” Bishop told the outlet. He added the pandemic gave parents an inside look at their children’s education. “They didn’t like the woke indoctrination that was going on. We don’t use pronouns. We don’t teach

CRT and we don’t ever mention 1619 — those are not appropriate subjects for our kids.”

The Tallahassee area school is a public charter institution.

Michelangelo’s 16thcentury sculpture is one of the Renaissance’s most famous pieces of art.

According to the Washington Post: “[The school], which follows a curriculum from Hillsdale College, the conservative, Christian institution in Michigan that has helped launch dozens of ‘classical’ charter schools nationwide, is required to teach Renaissance art to sixthgraders.”
