Controversy over 'David' statue leads to Florida principal's resignation.

TL;DR Summary
The principal of Tallahassee Classical School in Florida, Hope Carrasquilla, has resigned after a parent complained that sixth graders were exposed to pornography during a lesson on Renaissance art that included Michelangelo’s “David” sculpture. The instruction also included Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam” painting and Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus.” The “David” statue’s nudity has been part of a centuries-old debate about art pushing boundaries and the rules of censorship.
