A charter school principal in Tallahassee, Florida, did not follow procedure before a lesson on Michelangelo's statue of David was given to sixth graders, school board Chair Barney Bishop III told CNN.Due to this and other issues, she was asked earlier this week to either resign or be terminated from her position, Bishop said. She chose to resign.
Hope Carrasquilla, the former principal at Tallahassee Classical School, told CNN that things had been escalating over the past year. "My board chair has not been happy with me," she told CNN, adding that she did not always follow every policy and procedure. Agreeing with Carrasquilla's assessment, Bishop told CNN that over time it had become evident the school needed to go in a different direction and with different leadership, and he had expressed that to her on many occasions.School Board Chair Barney Bishop III"Our school is two and a half years old. Every year we show that picture in the Renaissance Art class taught to our sixth graders," he added.
"We aren't trying to ban the picture," he said, referring to the statue of David."We think it's beautiful, but we are going to make sure the concept of parental rights is supreme in Florida and at our charter school," he added.
Florida 🤣🤦
Good to hear! We don’t want our children being indoctrinated by leftist child groomers. Sex education or anything discussing gender or sexual preferences must have parental approval. E we don’t need teachers announcing theirs or other people’s deprived mental issues
Every student should be required to learn about Italian Renaissance Art. ArtHistory
Jesus crucifixion is a display of sexual violence. Children should not be exposed to this. It's teaching them BDSM.
Fake news for CNN. I’m shocked.
Just because some ancient civilizations obsessed with sex and sexual perversion doesn't mean we should adore and emulate them, nor place them on a pedestal to show children.
Yeah but fired?!?
Unreal. Ashamed of the new Banana Republic of Florida
Where is the logic? Kids, any age, can see everything uncensored on internet youtube, tiktok and the likes without any elderly control and the only place where they can see culture with adult guidance present, gets forbidden? Your nuts?
I imagine the complaining parents do not sit beside their child 100% of the time the child accesses the internet. Maybe CPS should be called…
instead of TeachableMoments, Trumpublicans have TriggeringEvents. what is next burning books, burning art? maybe charter schools are the problem? the legacy of Betsy DeVos and formerguy.
This is hilarious. I cannot imagine what these children see at home- hypocrites are always the loudest.
so michelangeo is a purveyor of pornography?
Republicans will defend your kids buying guns but not learning about Renaissance art
We went to see David with our 3yo in 2020. She went in and shouted “Look, mum, a giant penis!“ (in German) and the half of the Galleria was laughing out loud. We bought a little David statue as a souvenir she cherishes it until today. European childhood vs American childhood.
Mérica is going into full christo-fascism mode.
But also shouldn’t this be on everyone’s fridge?
Dear half of America, please stop proving that you’re uncultured swine.
AMERICA IS GETTING MORE COMMUNIST
I think parents need to remove their kids from schools that Subject them to lies, discrimination, any religious or sex education that does not cover every choice. Schools are for education not life choices. Leave the state and go somewhere where your kids will be safe at school.
How puerile are Americans
Worst case scenario: A little kid: 'haha, we can see his junk'
Kids saw David - big freakin' deal! We had one with fig leaf on his junk in my art school when we were 10-12 y.o. and get this - NOBODY CARED!
this statue is considered one the finest piece of art ever since 1504.imagine being more regressive and backward than people in 1504...
JFC!!!! This is why education is so important. Ignorant people are now ruling every facet of our lives. Why are people like this? Stop capitulating and stand up and say, 'Enough! Your argument is invalid, and you need to sit down and shut up! '
Triggering events. You have ruined our children by convincing them that things are triggering them
Most parents can't even be responsible for signing permission slips for field trips or student reading time logs without cheating. The fact that we are letting the 3% 'rule the school' is completely insane.
It’s not Michael Angelo it’s the types of books that the school administrators have permitted that have caused parents to loose trust with school administrators
Florida principal let go after failing to do their job. What a nothing article.
Hmmm... That reaction and all those keywords sound pretty 'woke' to me. I thought Florida & DeScumbag were against that...? Oh yeah - only when it doesn't serve *their* interests. Hypocrites.🖕🏼
What happens if parents don't agree with the lesson content? Does the school adjust their timetable each time? The kids just won't attend?
Before you tap the discussion it says Michelangelo’s D
Triggering event…what the… Good grief, people are losing their damn minds!
If these parents are so smart and think they know everything better than educators then why don’t they teach their own kids instead of ruining everyone else’s experience with their bullshit?
This being CNN, there's probably more to this story. After all this is the same CNN that pushed Jussie Smollett HOAX
Florida 😂🤣🤣 enough said.
He brags they don't offer safe space but they do just for intolerant, hateful conservatives. It's still 'safe space' just for the snowflake Right.
Everyone's child's education will be held hostage to extremists who don't want their kids to know basic things. Let's see, climate change, slavery, civil rights movement, women' right's, gay right's movements - any ideas that sprout from such topics surely must be off-topic.
America: the prudest and most begoted Country in the world🤦🏼♀️…Then they call other people “fundamentalists”🤦🏼♀️
There is no hope! Imagine opening History Books! I guess 'Whiteout Markers' will be all the rage soon. Very sad times.
The most famous sculpture in the world is now too “woke” for conservatives. You can’t make this shit up.
I am so sick of these sick azz grownups introducing anatomy parts to little kids, stop trying to turn them into perv like yourselves.. leave them ALONE
...they are so caring.
Why would the governor and law makers in florida want their children to be uncultured?
Education comes from the Italian Renaissance, Puritanism is useless censorship... the beauty of art is never pornography..
It's okay for the news outlets to report the news but stay out of making and debating the news.
“… school board Chair Barney Bishop III said…” When Flintstones and Clergy are involved things can only go to the cave age.
Cue Red State Karens desperately trying to defend the school so they can raise kids as ignorant and small-minded as they are. 🙄
This won't continue in the shitty state of Florida much longer. The state alone looks like a penis. If they want tourists to continue to visit, they will review their senseless law.
So it's o.k. for school children to worry about being gunned down at school but they can't look at fine art ? Florida must be the a.hole of America.
Floridians, please move. For your children's sake
Oh no a penis. It’s not like kids have never seen one on themselves.
United States is being turned into Russia by the Republicans?
What a loser
Not realistic
Police Misconduct in Warren County KY needs investigated. A special detail maybe? 152248 gmp is a civil rights report by me. Johnathan Buford about police misconduct on April 19, 2022.
What. A. Joke.
These parents are honestly pathetic. They have no clue what they are doing and they have no clue what’s actually going on in the classroom. They are frightened that their kids will actually develop some perspective and learn about other cultures.
This is beyond ridiculous. This American attitude toward nudity was like this back in the 90s, and it is unfortunate that it hasn't changed in 30 years.
Florida is a Christofascist dictatorship.
But wait, I thought it was the Libs that were the snowflakes!?
No wonder Europeans see all Americans as philistines
'...might be a triggering event...' When I was in Catholic grammar school, every year, they'd run over a mannequin in a school uniform to show what happens when you crossed against the light. Much more triggering than seeing art.
I thought MAGA supported Western art and culture. I guess not. It shows how unsophisticated they are.
Yes, I'm sure denying kids to literal art about depicting a normal human body is going to scar them for life 🙄 good lord.. at most, kids will have a giggle and then they'll move on. They act like this is something life altering.
Why would the school need to notify parents about a statue that every kid in Florence sees like 15 times a day cause there are copies all over the city? What a waste of energy from parents who are just teaching their kids to hate anyone unlike themselves.
Getting out of hand… All of you. Both sides.
RT Florida fabulous freedoms
Sounds from the article like she chose not to follow the rules on more than one occasion.
So it’s the Right Wing getting triggered.
cnni Do you ever stop running cover for your profit interest? Just kidding we all know the answer
WTF
Triggering. JFC.
Same parents bringing their kids to drag time story
This never happened when I was growing up
You all normalized DeSantis and then this happens.
Admittedly, he should have been fired, but only because teaching about the Italian Renaissance is white supremacy
We need to stop these Regressives in the GOP. They're going full Philistine and Luddite on the country and show no sign of stopping.
Which parents?
Disinformation propaganda from the CNN list in the darkness of greed. My opinion
God, this puritanical garbage that America is embracing more than ever is just embarrassing
This whole thing is so ridiculous.
Must be nice to be these blind to reality, kids or their friends from age 8-9-10 have hidden apps on their phone where they see every single thing you can imagine and parents think the apps are something else. These people live under a rock if they think a statue is the issue.
I mean...there's not really much to see
What insanity US politics is becoming
Maybe now school officials will realize you can’t just do whatever you want they are not your kids!
Oh ffs
Florida snowflakes
Crazy
Do they also have signs in the boys bathroom warning not to look down?
Florida what a mess
Fucking asinine.
L'arte è origine, è l'infinito introspettivo per l'uomo.
This is simply insane. There's just no reasoning that makes any logical sense to me about this. Is every subject going to be scrutinized for content that might be somehow 'offensive' to an extremist parent? Art is a subject that has been taught for centuries!!
There is going to be a generation of ignorant young people leaving school in Florida (and others). Which is a shame.
Is this an example of “wokeness” or “virtue signalling” that I’ve been hearing so much about?
I’m so fucking glad I don’t have kids. Jesus Christ.
The parents probably have taken photos of their kids with assault rifles! America is so f’d up!!!
Morality from people who believe. Deuteronomy 25:11-12, “When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near ….. and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.'
So glad i dont live in the stupid country lol
If these parents did not want thier precious kids to see a nude statue, then they should have taken thier snowflake children out of the lesson, not fired the principle. They are the ones imposing thier belief on others.
Oh please! All this nonsense going on in Florida is ridiculous.
Geesh. I think it's funny that conservatives are calling liberals snowflakes. 😂😂😂
This generation of children will be so dumb and uncultured. No books, no art, no understanding of the world around them. It’s pretty fucking sad.
The same parents complaining are the same parents letting their kids watch whatever on TV and they have no problem with that.
WTF. It’s literally not the fuck what they should do. This country is out of control.
Puritan prudishness has always ruined America. What a backwards country compared to the rest of the world.
Fascist Florida
Why are Floridians scared of a marble penis?
TGearhardt and they call liberals snowflakes. My god
Ahh. A bunch of people not reading any of the article. Nice.
Kids raised in conservative families are very easily trigerred.
Simpsons predicting a dreaded future strikes again…
The MAGA PTA is just WAY OUT OF HAND 😡😡😡😡
“Due to this and other issues…” What other issues?
This one?
Nowadays, you children will have to go to private schools if you don’t want them being forced to share bathrooms with boys, and teaching your children about gay sex
Good lord, just make the parents teach all the kids if you don’t trust teachers anymore
Math is a triggering word. Specifically Calculus, Trig, and Chemistry and Bio too.
What?
Oh my freaking god .. seriously
