The museum in Florence, Italy, that houses Michelangelo’s Renaissance masterpiece the David issued a remarkable invitation last week to parents and students of a school in Tallahassee.
Come visit, the Galleria dell’Accademia said. See the statute for yourself.
The invite came after the forced resignation of the Florida charter school’s principal after a parent complained that sixth-graders had been exposed to pornography during a lesson on Renaissance art that included the sculpture. It was yet another eruption in the state’s ongoing culture wars, and it left Florida open to international ridicule.
