WARNING - GRAPHIC FOOTAGE: Ashley Benoit voices her concerns over reckless behavior in students, which is prompting many teachers to leave the profession on 'Jesse Watters Primetime.'forced to resign after parents complained about a Renaissance art lesson that showed students Michelangelo's sculpture of the Bible's David.
Carrasquilla believes she was forced to resign because of the art lesson that featured Michelangelo's"David" sculpture. Bishop declined to say why he asked her to resign at the advice of the school’s employment lawyer, according to the Talahassee Democrat.Overview of the city of Florence, Italy with a statue of Michelangelos David on July 22, 2014.FLORIDA SUBSTITUTE TEACHER FIRED AFTER BLAMING GOV.
A new rule at the school requires parents be notified two weeks before teaching"potentially controversial" curriculum, allowing them time to review the material Bishop told the Tallahassee Democrat.
Since when does the principal teach anything?
Why must arts be related to nudity Can't artists be more creative rather than again and again obsessed with nude body repeatedly? Monalisa and Starry Night are very artistic too. Why artists just back and forth focusing on drawing human private part? So lack of inspiration!!
I'd like to know the ages of the school children. I didn't see this sculpture before HS. There are just some things that are not age appropriate. And there are vast works of art that the children can learn to appreciate without pushing sensibility.
In the midwest, WE have the smaller scale statue of David. Oh my! We should cover our children's eyes! Oh my, Oh my, What will we do? 🙄 Children have seen more at drag shows, story hours, classrooms, Epstein Island and in their own baths than Michelangelo! GMAB! GROW UP!
No way!
Florida, where common sense goes to die.
I don't believe it
WTF
Willing to bet they would have no problem with this tho
The fuck? That is a renaissance masterpiece…
Wow! That's ridiculous.
This is the type of crap you usta see in those tv shows..people need to stop being far left and far right… both are frickin crazy
Don’t schools make you sign consent forms for field trips before hand? Either way calling art porn is pretty brain dead.
Why ? They can't see his pecker.
It was a private catholic school
Must be a Democrat principal. A Republican would never resign.
Just shows parents ignorance…!!!
This is a bit complicated to me at some point the mayor is right, at some point he is not. The choices he gave is too much to give,I mean there is a warning before anything( let this be the last time) or something the world today is something else.
All Shall Hail His Excellency Lord Chancellor DeSantis! → Or else!
Yet they let drag queens into elementary schools!! People in America have become so lost in every aspect of what a rational and healthy society is for citizens that reasonable and rational people especially parents ought to think seriously about getting out of the US- it is lost
That’s insanity.
Red state must negate.
Lack of communication is the problem not the piece of art.
Bet yet Ron Desantis has no problem with kids being at nude beaches in Florida.
So… a piece of classic art is wrong, but trans sex shows are okay? What has humanity become?!
Fox is just mad their status got taken down 🥴
Outrageous!
They should rip down that statue … like they have throughout the US. History … who needs it anyway.
What were his intentions when he showed it?
Red state, what would you expect?
Absolutely pitiful, I didn't realise Americans were so fragile! It's a statue
Ah yes, David, a statue, is too pornographic. But attending a 'drag queen story hour' with your 5 or 6 yo child isn't...
First off I’d like to say it was cold that day, and my body makes decent spongey material used for brains and erectile growth. Oh wait that’s not me, but it looked familiar.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO COVER THIS STATUE'S GROIN WITH PINK PANTIES BEFORE IT'S EVER SHOWN IN PUBLIC AGAIN!!!!
Give no grounds. The teacher knew what they were doing.
Blimy, some right prudes in the US, describing one of the greatest masterpieces of the Renaissance as porn!!!
So we in America have reached a point where a statue of art is now considered inappropriate? All that because for some reasons we link that to sex? How can any conservative think this is great for education?
‘The West has no culture!’ say those who worship places where the highest art form is banging sticks against other sticks or mixing dirt and water together to make things. Of course people think that when we hide all our great works of art!
Thank you for only showing this statue from the belly up!!! it is so GAY!!!
Omg that's stupid, go to France lol
This statue is on full display in the Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing, but this teacher gets fired? Really...
Well so much for classic Roman art but if they were shown a statue of two people having sex I suppose that would just be fine and dandy with that education system
Thing is, even Conservatives….. Americans don’t seem to be Staunch. 3 parents complained? Put up 4 that approved. Why is it the very few, control the whole?
Let's get serious folks get this teacher back in his class room ! Yes with an apology for him in writing ! It's just plain STUPID! Let the kids get out and see Statues in Parks Museums and downtowns and in Cities!
I think people should actually read the story. The principal was not told why she was asked to resign. She , 'believes', it was because of the lesson that showed the statue. I feel like there is way more to this story.
There is far more to this story than is being reported. For onw,, only the principal is saying it was because of the statue. What else was in this art lesson? Who are the parents that complained about showing the statue?
6rh grade doesn't understand this advanced art. Just stop grooming
I’m pretty sure there is a lot more to this story.
It's just a fucking statue!!!! It's been around forever!!!!
Explain, please. what do you need permission for?
I have stood in front of that thing, it is a stunning timeless priceless and magnificant historical statue, and seeing it for the first time stops you in your tracks!
I have no doubt today where every 6th grader has a smartphone that there is any secret mystery of the David sculpture that exists !
Anyone been to Florence to see the 'David' ? Am I wrong or is this sculpture representative of a Jewish male .... accurately ... if you get my drift ?
One wonders at times where the problem lies. With Michelangelo or a frustrated parent of 6th graders ?
But what would have happened if he showed them The Risen Christ, a marble sculpture by Michelangelo. “Christ is shown unclothed in a standing pose. Christ's sexual organs are exposed in order to show that his sexuality is uncorrupted by lust and completely controlled by his will”
In this world? Maga parents are really scared of his penis? By 6th grade they’ve seen much worse.
Why? Were they too old? Guess you can only show naked pics to grade school kids.
Why? Was it to kindergarten.
Oh, for heavens sake! This cannot be true!!!
Penis
Hicksville Murica 😂😂
High school, why do these people have such a strong desire to expose children to sex and nudity. In sixth grade they should be drawing trees, horses, flowers, bowls of fruit and motorcycles.
Now they're gonna ban the Bible because before eve bit the apple she and Adam were both nude as it was PURE innocence. Ridiculous!
?
I don’t know about this situation, there a episode about this on the Simpsons.
I don’t believe this there has to be more to this than what you are saying
Why the hell why
According to the article, Tallahassee Classical is a charter school that follows Hillsdale College curriculum, which requires instruction about Renaissance art in sixth grade - These parents, did they not know what Renaissance art is before their children attended?
Good
People have lost their damn minds. It’s a classic work of art for Pete’s sake. Not porn.
This nonsense is going too far 🤦♂️
I saw that, that's not quite it. Haters going to hate anyway
If that does it to your kids, stay out of Europe, the Mediterranean, hell lock em in the closet! A statue?! Really!?! Cancel your Netflix subscription and remember to wear a sweater when you mow the lawn!
I agree with keeping porn out of schools but this isn’t porn
Hope these parents never let their child out of their site....on a computer....at a sleepover....anything. God forbid they see such horrors. If there is a God.
Fox must not report this. When folk see us banning art from thousands of years ago we look like taliban style puritans.
He forgot he works for the parents. I do not agree with those 3 parents, nor should a minority opinion be the reason for his resignation.
That’s Florida in 2023 Timeless art: NO Gay: NO Guns: YES
The prudery of society needs to stop. We need to stop treating the very good Image of God as if it's somehow 'indecent', 'obscene', or somehow 'inappropriate'. And instead adopt a more realistic and Biblical view of the body.
This is RICH! Fox recently rptd on parents labeled domestic terrorists bc they want to know what their children are being taught in school ... One of the things in the rpt was that 11&12 yr olds were being asked WHEN THEY LAST HAD SEX, but NO to Michelangelo?
Ridiculous. Beautiful work of art!!
What a bunch of fools..
Otthon sosem látják a szüleiket mesztelenül? Még véletlenül sem? Bezzeg az lmbtq meg a Drag queenek nem zavarják őket az iskolákban meg a parádékon!!! Képmutatóak!
I seen a naked statue once! Emotional Injury!😳
But you can give 5 year olds books about gay sex?
What? Why was he forced to resign?
HandibodeJ
Fake news
No. It's more complicated than objecting to the art.
GOP ARE SNOWFLAKES ❄️
I read the article twice and it never said what Grade level this was. Article Author should go back to school and take a basic Journalism Class. And no, I’m not watching the video, the news story AND the headline should include this information.
The Idiocracy of America continues apace. Now Lauren Boebert, a teenaged mother without a GED, who just announced she’ll be a grandma to her 17 year old son and his 15 year old high school girlfriend’s kid, wants to end the Department of Education. The Chinese must be cheering
Life in the Democratic Christian Republic of DeSantistan.
What's wrong with Michelangelo's art?
It's just a 'Locker Room' sculpture. 🙄
sad …!
Can we find out the real reason for her ouster? All this is just speculation.
Florida parents: Michelangelo’s David = Porn Melania’s pornography = Ok
It's art.
Ridiculous 😐
Yet others can force the lbgtr…. agenda on the children?! A whole lot of sense there
Florida has gone so woke under Desantis
