An award-winning art teacher in Texas by the name of Sydney McGee was recently fired because some kids on a school-sponsored field trip saw a nekkid statue.
Ms. McGee had worked as an art teacher for 28 years. She was such an excellent art teacher at the Fisher Elementary School that parents moved there just so their children could be involved in her arts program.
In April she took 89 5th-graders to an art museum in Dallas, a field trip not only approved but encouraged by the school’s principal.
Apparently when the kids got home, some of them told their parents about the statue and feathers got ruffled. Even though parents had to give written consent for their children to attend the field trip, even though the principal approved it, it’s the teacher’s fault that the children are too fragile to see some boobs or a penis.
It’s a damn shame.

Shall we just kick Michaelangelo out of the art curriculum while we’re at it? After all, “David” would certainly be a threat to the kiddies’ sensibilities. They’d never see their beer-gutted dads quite the same.
There has to be something more to the story than this; if not, it’s really quite scary what we’re coming to.

Public education is going to whittle itself down to rote memorization and test taking skills. We are going to evolve generations of robotic, emotionless experts at Trivia Pursuits. It’s like Pleasantville before the red rose.

This epitomizes one of the many things that is wrong with America right now.

Nekkid you say? Hmm… I’ll just have to investigate this.
