Crystalina replied: I would feel privileged to have my children see original peices of art like that. Maybe I would go with them so if they had any questions they could ask. I'd rather myself answer questions then having the teacher answer but knowing my kids they wouldn't think much about it. It may be differnant for me since I have a boy and a girl. They both know what the other has and it's no biggie. That saves me a bit of explaining at times.

redchief replied: How unfortunate. That recognized art has become pornography in the minds of the fundamentalist right. I suppose a trip to the Sistine Chapel would get that poor teacher automatically fired. When did artistic rendering of the nude human form become porn? In this we're (the good ol' USA) moving backward, by giant leaps.

Speaking from someone who just moved from Dallas - its ummmm a nightmare

kimberley replied: that is mental!! how much are we going to sensor our kids??? til they live in a freakin bubble and dress in the dark?! sorry, but that just browns me off!

Ellie replied:

I live near that.

ions_momma replied: that is ridiculous!

holley79 replied: It's art, that's all I have to say. Ok, maybe that's not all I can say. I would have to back that teacher up 110%.

redchief replied:
I only hope that the majority of the parents in that school district agree and act on what you've said, Holley.

holley79 replied:
I hope so also because I would hate for other children to lose out on the oppurtunity to see REAL art because of one child/ parent.

mom2my2cuties replied: Andrew and I were talking about this over dinner a little bit ago and all of a sudden something hit me.

Ok - these kiddos saw a nude statue/artwork at a museum...but you wanna know something interesting???

That is FLIPPIN' DALLAS, TX...They will see worse traveling on ANY interstate due to the number of "adult" clubs and swingers clubs and that sort of thing that are advertised on billboards.
