Florida principal fired after display of Statute of David.

I feel sorry for the students in schools in Florida, because they are not being taught critical thinking?!!

Critical thinking is the analysis of available facts, evidence, observations, and arguments to form a judgment. The subject is complex; several different definitions exist, which generally include the rational, skeptical, and unbiased analysis or evaluation of factual evidence. Wikipedia

[QUOTE=ThatOwlWoman;5554165]In an odd way that is true, since I'm not 80... or 70, yet. lol



Why did you bring homosexuals into this conversation, pEarl? The word "penis" triggered you again? [/QUOTE

You brought it up.

“Peincipal" looks a lot like penis. How very Freudian, pEarl. Thanks for illustrating where your desires lie.”

Where your desires lie...an ad hom...too funny,

Then you will hate him too.

Moronic drivel.

Tell me what there is more to this story?
Florida education is being destroyed because our teachers are terrified to teach.

I like the way my English Comp II prof taught it. She put us in groups of four. We had to find and analyze an advertisement, then write papers about it and present it to the rest of the class. It could be for anything -- a car, an upcoming basketball game, shoes, whatever. We were supposed to analyze the use of color and object placement in the ad, as well as wording and typeface and perceived "mood" the ad tried to convey. It was a subtle way of learning that even something as innocent as an appeal for donations to a cause is carefully constructed to influence the viewer and produce an outcome beneficial to the ad's sponsor. You could easily see how the same things are done with political speech, ads, appeals. One of our h.s. history teachers taught critical thinking by using political ads in a similar way.

Therefore the Reichwingers will pass a law forbidding this to be taught in public schools.

Exactly...but that would actually make sense.. and prove that it was much more than this complaining about the Statue... she just wasn't the right fit for the school... they don't seem to be doing too well there so it's no surprise that they're looking for new staff all the time...

Remember this?

The Justice Department has spent $8,000 on blue drapes to hide two giant partially nude statues in the Great Hall of the agency’s headquarters, spokesman Shane Hix said Monday.

Florida principal fired after Students are shown a photo of Michelangelo's statue of David.

The now-former principal, Hope Carrasquilla, told HuffPost the situation was also “a little more complicated than that,” noting that the usual protocol is to send parents a letter before students are shown such classical artwork.

Due to “a series of miscommunications,” the letter did not go out to the sixth-grade parents, and some complained, Carrasquilla said.

So, protocol was not followed. Interesting that even the Principal noted that this wasn't all there was to your story. Also interesting that this was a charter school specifically founded to avoid this kind of thing. Also not mentioned in your OP.

So does David's package look like your's?

That's what happens when hate Nazi book burners get any power at all. They are the lowest form of humanity.

Any parent who sends a child to this school should be convicted of child abuse. This motherfucker is the chair of a school board that oversees a school that he claims teaches "a traditional, Western civilization, liberal classical education." Yet he doesn't know what any of those words mean. Put all the children of conservatives into charter schools administered by high school dropouts. Darwinism continues to work from COVID to anti-woke rants. American conservatism is dead.

INTERVIEWER: I tend to think of a classical education as being the mode in the 17th, 18th century, where you study the Greeks and Romans, and Western civilization is central. A tutor or teacher is the expert, and that teacher drives the curriculum. You’re describing something where it seems the parents drive the curriculum. How does your classical education differ from the classical education as I think of it?

SCHOOL BOARD CHAIR: What kind of question is that, Dan? I don’t know how they taught in the 17th, 18th century, and neither do you. You live in New York?

INTERVIEWER: Virginia.

SCHOOL BOARD CHAIR: You’ve got a 212 number. That’s New York.

INTERVIEWER: I lived in New York when I got the cellphone, many years ago. Now I live in Virginia.
