Do you ever wonder why the world often laughs at America? (Living in Britain I very rarely do anymore. I think I see America much as my friends and neighbours do.)
Well if you do then you need look no further than this story to help explain way. An art teacher from a Dallas suburb is to be sacked after 5th graders caught a glimpse of "nude art" whilst on a class trip to the Dallas Museum of Art. I guess every kid in Rome, Paris or even (shock, horror)New York! Come on people. Wake up! It's art. It's the human body. It's beautiful!
Note: did you notice for the photo of the teacher in the article she's shown with a couple of safe Mondrians. Could be nudes. Who knows? (Don't the righties hate abstract art and prefer realism? I guess unless only when there are titties involved do abstracts become preferable! If it the kids had stumbled on this Picasso the teacher might still be employed.)
