The board of the Tallahassee Classical School pressured Principal Hope Carrasquilla to resign last week after an image of the David was shown to a sixth-grade art class. Carrasquilla believes the board targeted her after three parents complained about a lesson including a photo of the David, a five-metre tall nude marble sculpture dating from 1504. The school has a policy requiring parents to be notified in advance about "controversial" topics being taught. Do you think the parents should have been warned in advance their children would see this image?
