Fired Principal Visits Michelangelo's David in Florence and is Impressed.
Hope Carrasquilla, a US principal who was forced to resign after parents complained about an art lesson showing Michelangelo's David, visited the masterpiece at Florence's Accademia Galleria. The museum director invited her and her family to see the statue, which depicts an entirely naked David, the Biblical figure who kills the giant Goliath. Carrasquilla said she was impressed by the gallery and that there was nothing wrong with the human body. She was asked to resign from the Tallahassee Classical School in Florida last month after less than a year on the job.
