The principal should keep her job, the students whose parents complained should be asked to leave. I remember going to the Worlds Fair in Queens NY because my parents wanted me to see this fantastic work of art.
Of course, I also watched Dana Carvey's Straight White Male 60 routine the other night where he describes his teenage sons snickering and pointing saying "Look. Bawls." I suspect this to be the maturity level of the parents that complained.

The school probably has a policy prohibiting nudity. The article quotes the superintendent as stating that the principal was fired for a list of other unnamed cumulative reasons, so we can't blame her dismissal entirely on this particular subject, but I would speculate that presenting nudity to students without gaining the support of the school system and issuing fair warning to the parents was the straw that broke the camel's back. Beside the fact that this is art, and not vulgar and not at all pornography, it is in fact a nude statue.
As far as Italy's Florence museum and the city's mayor inviting parents and students from the Florida charter school to visit the actual statue, it is an empty promise. There's free admission for all students anyway, and since they were not offering travel expenses, not much whoop-de-doo there at all, just click bait & virtue signaling.
And the two parents that objected, could have handled it better to say the least. Your kids in this day and age WILL encounter vulgar nudity that is not at all considered to be the same category of nudity as Michelangelo's statue of David. This could have been a learning opportunity for your child to witness a display of maturity on your part that would infuse maturity on your pre-teen child's growing minds and temperament. Although I defer to your rights regarding your children's education, in my opinion, you screwed this up Mom,.. Dad.
You know how the old saying goes, "one person's loving gesture is another person's instrument of egregious patriarchal oppression," or whatever.
Okay, that's not exactly how the adage goes, but that pretty much sums up the response a couple on TikTok got after the wife showed off her preparations for her husband having his friends over.
She really rose to the occasion—and boy, did it make people angry.
That is so messed up. She wanted to die, but didn't want to do the deed herself? I mean, why take out six other souls first? Just so the cops would kill her because she couldn't? I guess it's not supposed to make any sense.
And the other sad thing is that with that message or video or whatever it is (I didn’t look) that despicable human will now be immortalized forever thanks to the internet. Another killer being made famous.
And the liberal media is spinning it as though the shooter thought her actions were vindicated because TN has taken some hard positions regarding trans people in sports, in essence endorsing that her actions were legitimate. Why is it that oftentimes violence from the left is appropriate, rationalized as the only means remaining to convey disgust/disagreement, but only from the left?
@peter4jc my interpretation is that the first thing I’ve noticed the media doing is looking for a “right wing nut job”. Once they can’t find that it just has to be something justifiable because that’s the only way it plays into stoking the political fires. Left/right…doesn’t matter to me. As far as media and politicians go they’re as despicable as it gets. They are to blame for this sort of thing. Everything from making these people famous which started with Columbine to doing away with the mental health care system in this country. Most people can’t afford mental health care for these people that need it so badly. The affordable care tax did away with most of it so insurances don’t cover it.
It all goes back to the old saying “it takes a village”. People need to relearn how to take care of each other and stop worrying so much about the latest bùllshit video on the internet.

This is the worst part in my opinion, the immortalization of these terrorists. I want to maybe try doing the opposite, and instead talk about the officers involved. Everyone should watch this video start to finish, even though it's graphic. The level of heroism involved in running actively into danger to protect children is a quality that we as a country seem to have forgotten the importance of. Let's all do what we can to make these officers national heroes. If anyone finds a go-fund-me for these officers in the future, please let me know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue2tZa4hT0c
We need to stop coddling these mentally ill people and start treating their illness, not legitimizing their insanity. This dude wants to be a woman but can't be because he was born a man. People treated him differently, probably very badly, instead of getting him the help he needed as a kid. It doesn't excuse his murder spree. This mentally ill man still took the lives of others instead of acknowledging he has a mental problem and committing himself.

Pretty sure it was born a woman and chose to go by male pronouns. At least now the pronouns are were/was thanks to the officers. I agree with your point though, I'd love to see republicans take ownership of the mental health problems these shooters have, and try to come up with real solutions instead of just saying it's a problem.
They're going to have to. The demo just call for more and more restrictions on rights. Instead of sending 40 billion dollars to Ukraine, try putting that money into reopening the mental hospitals.

Aren't like all rocks nude by definition?
this solves the problem:
When are they going to make a statue of a woman, complete with mud flaps?

Suicide by police was a popular thing a few years ago…now they’re taking out bystanders too. Society is so screwed up.

Gun Control against the mentally ill is the only answer. Start with the trans movement.
