Controversy over Michelangelo's David sparks debate on artistic taste and censorship.

The Florence museum housing Michelangelo’s David has invited parents and students from a Florida charter school to visit after complaints about a lesson featuring the statue forced the principal to resign. 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. The incredulous Italian response highlighted how the U.S. culture wars are often perceived in Europe, where despite a rise in right-wing sentiment and governance, the Renaissance and its masterpieces, even its naked ones, are generally free of controversy.
