  • Please think about the children!

    Welcome to the 21st century...



    If it wasn't so sad I would have laughed...
    Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
    And notifying the next of kin
    Once again...

    Yeah this has been a hotly debated topic. Seems like it would be low on the priority list of things to worry over.


    Would you be upset if your child saw a nude sculpture at a museum of art while on a field trip?

      I knew Texans were conservative but this is plain ridiculous.

        It's a town, atawa. Not the state.

          I know Sloww
          Just saying that even a state as conservative as Texas I wouldnt expect this kind of thing, not even in a small town.
          Personaly I think its a shame that a few parents who were obviously too lazy to check what they signed (One should know that artsmuseums have some form of nudity) have basicly ruined a fine teachers life.

          Whoever runs that school should be fired imo

              She's an outstanding teacher. It's Frisco's loss.

                You're kidding right? That vote result sounds like it's reflecting a healthy populace. Art is not porn you know.

                  On a second read of your post, I see that you probably meant the opposite of what I thought. I'm tired.

                    I wonder why the school chose to fire the teacher, since it appears there was only one complaint, out of 89 pupils. I can see only three reasons:

                    1. The school board really really doesn't want to offense anybody. If even one person gets offensed for something trivial, that's one too many.

                    2. The kid's parents are important people

                    3. There was an old conflict between the school board and the teacher, but the teacher was too good to be fired. The board could happily use the first excuse to fire her, no matter how stupid the excuse is.

                        What really is sad is that other teachers won't dare to take their classes to museums any more and therefore a lot of kids will never be exposed to art.

                        I just realised I made an almost identical thread some time ago when another teacher got fired because he used a nude model in his drawing class. A drawing class at an art school that is.

                        Good thing I don't have kids. I would have to remove a lot of my books

                              Art museum field trips are some of the most boring things I've ever done in school.
