Florence Mayor Dario Nardella also tweeted an invitation for the principal to visit so he can personally honor her. Confusing art with pornography was “ridiculous,” Nardella said.pressured Principal Hope Carrasquilla to resign last week after an image of the David was shown to a sixth-grade art class. The school has a policy requiring parents to be notified in advance about “controversial” topics being taught.
The incredulous Italian response highlighted how the U.S. culture wars are often perceived in Europe, where despite a rise in right-wing sentiment and governance, the Renaissance and its masterpieces, even its naked ones, are generally free of controversy. Sunday’s front page of the Italian daily publication Corriere della Sera featured a cartoon by its leading satirist depicting David with his genitals covered by an image of Uncle Sam and the word “Shame.

So small
הרמאי מחפש לסכם , אני לומד את ההתחלה
.-. GOP ARTIFICIAL ART OFFICIALS The gop are oozing with scorn For the dummies they’re trying to warn ..they say with some spunk ..cover up that junk Cuz Michelangelo’s David is porn. Michelangelo art florida
Americans: people can walk freely into any school heavily armed shooting....Nothing to see here. Masterpiece of one of the greatests artists of the body of a man..... How dare you to show that to kids!!!
Right the frak on 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I quick glance to what the people from Florida does... you would understand, they are not the smartest people in the world... Don´t let ignorant people dictate what is art or education.
Toxic
Michelangelo’s statue of David is an iconic symbol of artistic mastery of an art form that is reverential of the human form and the absolute skill to create such a masterpiece of beauty out of a huge rock from the Earth so that it glows in the light is almost spiritual.
“She was not let got because of Michelangelo’s David lesson.” -the guy that fired her.
Outrage over a historic masterpiece. Where is the outrage over the 132 mass shootings that have occurred in this country so far this year? According to the Julien calendar we are on day 87.
morgfair David is magnificent and beautiful. It is not pornography.
hellresidentNY I forget how huge David is, no pun intended.
These conservative snowflakes can't even look at art without complaining, she was fired because of the law about no course changes allowed without parental approval, the same one they introduced for LGBTQ+ education.
Horrifying that the “parent” calling David pornographic has bred offspring!
Delicate whining bi%&es.
As an art school graduate and a parent, this is absurd. 4th grade is mature enough to understand the difference and should have already gone thru basic sex ed. Someone should ask the complaining parents is they have monitored their kids music and TT accounts too. Likely not. In…
So you're putting drag queens twerking their butts in children's faces in the same category as Michaelangelo?
One assumes these people never leave the US and certainly won't travel to Europe as many statues would shock them.
The widespread ignorance in America is sometimes unbelievable. The fact that the Principal was let go based upon just 2 southern philistine’s complaining is very concerning.
“The David”
ArtHistoryAMust Our children should be exposed to the arts at every level. Yes, they may giggle a bit, but eventually they'll learn how talented the artists were.
No, it’s not porn—it’s just not accurate and it’s yet another example of the followers of HeyZeus making it up as they go—
AP are sad sack liars.
Back-a-Bush IGNORAMUS😄
Can these people become doctors? Or are medical books porn as well? Neanderthals.
Conservative parents looking at artistic masterpieces:
Florida village prople after seeing the Sistine Chapel
Watch for DeSanto and other radicalized republics make a new law banning Americans from going to Italy. Well with the Nazi playbook.
The only thing that’s obscene is their ignorance.
Nudity isn’t porn. No one has ever been traumatized by seeing themselves or other people nude. Lol
If the parents were educated they could tell the story behind the sculpture and not be all offended like it was made to piss them off.
Oh ffs. The statue of David was commissioned by THE CATHOLIC CHURCH for the cathedral in Florence.
Could not care about a statue OF WHITENESS TRASH CANS RIGHT AWAY.
Eventually GovRonDeSantis is going to get around to banning black people. The christo-fascist white nationalists are making sweeping changes in every aspect of Floridians lives. Not sure how much more OPPRESSION we're gonna need to achieve freedom here in FloriDUH.
Good. Art is not porn.
Compromise for the greater good. How hard would it be to put a pair of culottes on him?
There’s suppose to be a (“PSPF” Parent Student Permission Form) giving the school permission to take students anywhere off the School Campus. Also explaining what the class excursion is about. THE PARENT SIGNS THE FORM TO GRANT OR DENY THE STUDENT PERMISSION TO ATTEND.
Those parents couldn’t find Italy on a map.
Italian perverts
Trolling. The museum knows that those parents and kids would rather go watch some drag queens sing Judy Garland showtunes that be caught dead in an art museum.
Okay I’m lost. Is someone saying classic art is porn again like in that simpsons episode Form The 90’s? We addressed this decades ago and moved on
President Lyndon Johnson once said, “I may not know much, but I do know the difference between Chicken Shit and Chicken Salad.”
Do it Florence is a special city
In this case, are children not allowed to enter the museum?
Conservatives, not even once
What about their book that has a passage about daughters getting their father drunk to have sex with him?
I see America's descent back to the dark ages is continuing apace. Next stop: the new Salem witch trials.
Wut the hell are we even doing posting this AP?
Culture for dummies
Wasn’t this a Simpsons plot from like 30 years ago?
It is the duty of the museum to preserve and showcase such treasures of human history for the education and enlightenment of all, not just to appease the ignorant and intolerant few.
nude =/= naked
One of the greatest pieces of Art in history.
WTF. What is wrong with the some of Parents in Florida? They don’t appreciate Art. Like it’s Nasty all of a Sudden? Seriously!
They won't (visit, that is).
This shit is why other countries rightfully ridicule us. 🤦🏻♀️
The problem is that it’s not a historically accurate depiction—King David was Jewish. The statue is of an uncircumcised man. This statue is promoting a false narrative on behalf of the followers of HeyZeus.
Don’t do it Italy. You don’t need the Floridians dumbing down your country.
Simpsons did it
Florida going mental!
Florence take the opportunity there is so much to see
We could use a good renaissance.
Porn usually involves an action, Nude Art is not porn.
derekahunter She was fired because she broke protocol multiple times, not just on this one occasion.
Only in America do you find such prudish beliefs. The entire World moves forward, but Florida and the U.S. moves backwards.
I think it is fascinating that the curriculum is designed by Hillsdale College, that place is Ultra conservative. Plus they are using state funds to support conservative indoctrination.
Uncultured swine
He wasn't forced out because of that.
No one ever said the south was smart
I hope my kids go to the museum to find porn as opposed to pornhub.
Whatever you do, don't send David here... He'll never be the same. 😭
Florida man didn't want to go because he was racist.
OMG this country is an embarrassment.
Listen you are a weak emotionally disturbed person if a piece of Rock makes you feel sad anything that is sculptured by a human is a form of their own belief and abilities. It doesn't hurt anyone it don't make you cry don't make you feel bad only you do that to your own mind.
That's not why the reacher was fired. This is another AP lie
Does anyone ever ask the children how they feel? If they are too young and feel uncomfortable I understand as a mom. How about remember these are little ones?
In case anyone forgot how all of this started 2 years ago, liberals lost their shit over an illustrated version of The Diary of Anne Frank for children that was purchased by school districts and had it banned. But god forbid a kid doesn't see balls bigger than their head. lol.
Put some pants on em
NO
Floridans coming for the western culture
You know. growing up I never ceiwed this as porn. Do these parents even realize what their kids have access to on the internet
taliban conservatives
I don't think it's porn, but I do think the push to place inappropriate books into classrooms has caused people to create rigid rules and question trivial things in order to protect their children. This is just the bottom of the slippery slope that everyone warned y'all about.
I thought it said 'Italians tell Florida peasants'
Don’t let these people into Buca.
The MSM shits all over Florida every chance it can get. Keep it up. More people are turning away from the propagandized crap they spew daily.
'I'll know pornography when I see it.' I've seen David twice. This is not pornography. This is a stunning, breathtaking piece of art you can stare at from any angle in absolute awe of the artistry and detail. There are no words.
These students and their parents are on a chartered bus headed to Florence South Carolina.
Americans setting foot in Italy with our attire would offend them and still they're willing.
Wow! These people would faint in the Vigeland Park in Oslo. What do they want? For statues to be clothed?
Yeah right. People like that never leave their backyards
The astounding level of ignorance, lack of culture and ridiculous prudery in a so-called superpower country as USA that has a big influence on the rest of the world is terrifying.
Partially circumcised and NOT ithyphallic. Otherwise a standard masterpiece to equal those of the high culture of ancient Greece.
David was never the issue. The principle thinking she was above school protocols was the problem. Reminds me of Democrats during the Covid lockdowns.
If it’s porn, it’s not a lot of it.
Team 'ketchup is too spicy' does it again
Guns in schools are porn; not art.
The David in school is porn, but lgbtq propaganda is Not? Idiots! Criminals!
A third world mentality has consumed Florida for a while since Reagan implemented Wet-Foot, Dry-Foot policy.
The ignorance of Americans on display.
It's not worth dealing with florida man, Italy
It's nice to know the rest of the developed world looks at us as if we're knuckle-dragging, 1-toothed, inbred morons. Keep going republicans! 👍🏽
Take our advice, you don't want anyone from Florida in that museum. Next thing you'll know they'll be calling Florence 'woke' and then they'll try to get rid of it under the pretence that a statue was too liberal for them. 🤦🏻♂️ I know, sounds stupid right!? It's real.
Confusing art with pornography was “ridiculous,” Nardella said. 👏🏽
You do not want these people in your museum, trust me lol
Ridiculous to the point of outing extremists.
dum uncultured Americans
This is stupid to even think that the statue of David is even close to being the same as the smut that our public schools want to teach our young children. David is art at its finest. I’m surprised the woke mob hasn’t already destroyed it.
The problem was that the principal did not follow the school's own rule. It was also not the first issue they've had with this principal.
Straight out of a Simpson episode. Then it was a joke. Now it reflects just how ridiculous society has become
Yes it's p*rn. You can see his p*nis!
Americans have always been inexplicably afraid of sex when they should be afraid of guns.
If u are evil, no good actions in ur eyes. No way to change a personality which God decided.
🤣🤣
