The museum in Florence that houses Michelangelo’s David has invited the parents and children from a Florida charter school to visit. The mayor of Florence also invited that school’s principal, Hope Carrasquilla, to visit so he can honor her. She was pressured to resign after she showed an image of David to a 6th grade art class.
My friend Bill often forwards me memes, and there have been quite a few featuring the statue of David. I did not realize until today that an actual person was fired because the statue was considered “controversial.”
We are an embarrassment to the world, except maybe to the Taliban in Afghanistan.
