A Michigan college has ended its partnership with a Florida charter school over a dispute that students were exposed to pornography during a Renaissance art lesson that included Michelangelo’s David sculpture. (
after a parent complained sixth graders were exposed to pornography during a lesson on Renaissance art that included Michelangelo’s David sculpture.
A Hillsdale College spokesperson said Tallahassee Classical School no longer is affiliated with the small, Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan,“This drama around teaching Michelangelo’s ‘David’ sculpture, one of the most important works of art in existence, has become a distraction from, and a parody of, the actual aims of classical education,” spokesperson Emily Stack Davis wrote in a statement.
Tallahassee Classical School was licensed to use Hillsdale’s classical education curriculum, but its license was “revoked and will expire at the end of the school year,” Davis said.The Florida school’s principal Hope Carrasquilla resigned last week following an ultimatum from the school board’s chairman.
Tallahassee Classical School did not immediately respond to phone messages left Thursday seeking comment. After Carrasquilla resigned, the Florence museum housing the David on Sunday invited parents and students from Tallahassee Classical School to visit the statue in person. Florence’s mayor also tweeted an invitation to CarrasquillaThe David statue’s nudity has been part of a centuries-old debate about art pushing boundaries and the rules of censorship.
