OMG nude statues!

Seriously? If there's one gripe I have, it's people that complain about "nude art". For some reason it just makes them seem uneducated and ignorant, especially as an art lover myself. Does the fact that it was a fifth-grader that saw a nude statue make the complaint justified? In my opinion, NO. It really peeves me how prudish our American society is sometimes, and I'd like to take this time to post a well-done comic strip by the inimitable Scott Kurtz: Click Here.

What do the rest of you think about this issue? Was it really justifiable to put a teacher with a good teaching record and 28 years experience in the classroom out of a job because a little kid complained about seeing the wee-wee on a statue? Or is this really one of those "WTF" cases?

I'm going to have to say this is a true WTF moment. I don't understand what is so wrong with seeing nudity in a setting like an art museum. Shame on our culture that is ridiculous!
