No Nudes Is Good News

If Texas isn't now officially the big, shiny, obnoxious belt buckle of the Bible Belt, it surely moved one notch closer with this load of crap.

From Truth Dig:

A fifth-grade teacher is out of a job after leading a class through an art museum in Dallas. One of her students saw nude art; the student's parent complained; the teacher is suspended. Even crazier: Local TV stations are blacking out Greek sculpture genitalia during newscasts.

Here's the link to the full New York Times article.

Although the tour had been approved by the principal, and the 89 students were accompanied by 4 other teachers, at least 12 parents and a museum docent, Ms. McGee said, she was called to the principal the next day and "bashed."

She later received a memorandum in which the principal, Nancy Lawson, wrote: "During a study trip that you planned for fifth graders, students were exposed to nude statues and other nude art representations." It cited additional complaints, which Ms. McGee has challenged.

The school board suspended her with pay on Sept. 22.

It just makes me want to poke the eyes out of the parents. Can't people, specifically conservative Christians, finally get a healthy view about human sexuality? Obviously, these people need to listen to a sermon by this guy.

Loosen up people. What's next? Banning children from viewing the Mona Lisa? I mean, look at how she's smiling. She was clearly up to no good.
