The Great Creator made Adamo… and the next thing

The Great Creator made Adamo… and the next thing he did was to give him a pair of Fruit of the Loom underpants.

Indossa queste. Sta arrivando un gruppo di turisti americani! / Put these on. A group of American tourists is about to arrive!

Because of the incidents that past week involving a teacher in Florida being fired for teaching her class of sixth graders about Michelangelo’s magnificent statue of David during an art history lesson about the Renaissance…because 3 parents thought is was pornography…. Even Adam is getting himself dressed with God’s assistance!

Hard to believe, right? Seriously Florida, get over yourself, take an art history course, and grow up.

Young people need to learn about the David and the Renaissance. They need to know and understand the importance of this era and the changes that came about by artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo, Botticelli, and Raphael. Educating students about art and culture helps to broaden their horizons and stimulate their critical thinking skills.

Apparently, someone in Florida just noticed Michelangelo’s 15th-century sculpture of David doesn’t have a stitch of clothes on!

They just realized — David, infact, is stark naked! As a result, a teacher in Tallahassee, Florida, was fired.

For an art historian, it is kind of exciting when a work of art has the power to ruffle feathers, cause scandal and make people think outside their little boxes. But firing a teacher for enlightening her students about Michelangelo’s extraordinary masterpiece, the David, is absurd!

Learn more about this story in a new post on the Studentessa Matta website and what the Mayor of Florence has decided to do for the teacher who got fired. Links in Bio
