"Hillsdale College Spearheads Conservative Transformation of K-12 Education"

"The Simpsons" Predicted Controversy Over "Pornographic" Statue in Florida

A Florida charter school principal was forced to resign after some parents complained about their sixth grade students seeing a picture of Michelangelo's David in class. The school, which bases its curriculum on the conservative and Christian Hillsdale College in Michigan, is supposed to teach Renaissance art to sixth graders, which includes the statue of David. The Simpsons had predicted this in a 1990 episode where an angry mob protested the planned exhibition of David in Springfield.
