In a follow-up to the naked-David fiasco, the Christian college in Michigan that sponsors the curriculum in many "classical" charter schools around the country has cut ties with the Florida school, saying that they side with the curriculum and the principal (they have no problem with Rennaissance art topics including these paintings and sculptures).
This is what I meant: I am not sure that this is a winning policy to try to force on America (like the recent effort at a parents' rights bill in GOP-controlled congress). It's over-reaction and over-reach. And, like I said, now that charter school's board, through their actions, has even alienated their mentor school. And now they will have to hire their 4th principal in three years. Methinks the problem is the wack head of that school's board (the "board" consists of only this chairperson, one assistant, and a treasurer--sounds like he is a rogue).
edited to add: And on further review, my discovery that Fahrenheit-451 is on the middle school (7th grade) curriculum for this school struck me with head-shaking irony.
