In this episode, we discuss the recent controversy surrounding an art lesson at Tallahassee Classical School in Florida, which resulted in the forced resignation of a principal. The lesson included images of Michelangelo's David, Botticelli's Birth of Venus, and Michelangelo's Creation of Adam - all of which contain nudity. We explore the debate over the appropriateness of teaching nudity in art education, and the implications of censorship in the arts. We also discuss the importance of understanding historical context and the significance of these masterpieces in the art world. Additionally, we examine the impact of social media and parental involvement in education, and the role of educators in navigating controversial topics in the classroom. Finally, we look at the aftermath of the incident, including the principal's visit to the Accademia Galleria in Florence to see Michelangelo's David and the international outcry and confusion in the classical art community.
